Mrs. A. M. Byers of this city died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. M. Hays, in St. Louis on Wednesday, April 16, 1902. The body was brought to this city on Thursday morning and funeral services will be held from the home on Friday at 10 o'clock, Rev. W. S. Davis officiating.
The deceased's maiden name was Mary F. Full and she was born in Beardstown, Illinois, December 23, 1843. Her girlhood and young womanhood was spent in the town of her birth with the exception of some years spent in a ladies' seminary at Owensburg, Kentucky.
She was united in marriage to Abraham M. Byers in Beardstown on March 13, 1861. For a year after their marriage they lived in Beardstown and then moved to La Prairie, in Adams county, which was their home until they came to Aledo, in 1869.
The deceased was the mother of three children. The oldest daughter, Anna, died at the age of three years, while the other two, Mrs. Olive Hays of St. Louis and Edward of Little York survive the mother.
Mrs. Byers had been an invalid to a greater or less degree all her life and had suffered much at various times. Her final decline, however, began about five years ago. Since then she had spent winters in California, Eureka Springs, Battle Creek, and Louisville, Kentucky, and had been traveling since December until a short time before her death in company with her daughter in Florida. A little more than a week ago she returned to her daughter's home in St. Louis. On her return she was feeling in better health and spirits than for some time but she was at once taken much worse and the end came quickly.
Mrs. Byers was well and most favorably known in this city for her active interest in various charitable and various organizations and the large part she took in all charitable movements.
She was prominent in the Utill Dulci society of the Congregational church and later of the Benevolent Union, being for time its president. She was also active in the W. R. C. and was president of it for a time.
She always exhibited a large sympathy for the poor and her benevolences were many. She possessed much executive ability and had a sweet and lovable disposition that bound to her many warm friends.
