Remains of Mr. and Mrs. Squires Are Buried Here Saturday; Early Mira Valley Residents
At Sowl's chapel here last Saturday funeral services were held for Mrs. Robert Squires, 73, who passed away January 2 at her home in San Jacinto, Calif. Rev. D.C. Williamson had charge of the services and burial was in the family lot at Ord cemetery. With her were interred the ashes of Mr. Squires, who died Nov. 26, 1927.
Ella Frances Brink was born in LeRaysville, Pa., July 6, 1857 and while still an infant she accompanied her family to Carrol, Ill., and later to Stanwood, Ia., where she grew to womanhood. On March 2, 1885 she was married to Robert Squires.
Mr. Squires was born in Wellon, England, May 12, 1852 and came to the United States in 1873, coming almost at once to Nebraska. He bought a farm in Mira Valley and in 1885 brought his bride there to reside.
Only a few settlers lived in the valley at that time. The Ward's, Petty's, Clements's, Gray's, Boettger's and Bell's were there or came soon afterward and with the vision of the future before them these pioneers and those who followed built churches and schools and roads and with each others interests at heart they established a respected and prosperous community.
As a bride Mrs. Squires came from Iowa in a covered wagon and at the streams along the road she watered the shrubs and roses that she planted around the little one room sod house that was their first home.
Drouth [sic] and discouragement were often their lot and many of their early settler friends moved away, but with the hope of a brighter future they stayed on their Mira Valley farm and with the passage of years they saw many of their dreams realized.
Two children born to Mr. and Mrs. Squires grew to maturity. David, who died April 18, 1922, and Mrs. J.M. Winchester, of Clayton, N.M. Three grandchildren also survive.
Ill health forced Mr. and Mrs. Squires to seek a milder climate and six years ago they moved to San Jacinto, Calif., where they lived until the final call came. The husband died on Thanksgiving day in 1927 and the body was cremated at San Bernardino, Calif., the ashes being brought to Ord to rest beside the body of Mrs. Squires.
At the funeral services Saturday Mrs. Bert M. Hardenbrook sang two beautiful solos accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Glen Auble. Pall bearers were John Bremer, S.W. Roe, John Beams, Bud Bell, Wm. King and Asa Leonard, all of them neighbors and friends of the Squires' during their life in Mira Valley.
