Remains Taken to Fossil for Burial Beside the Body of Her Grandson, Who was Killed in France.
Death has again visited our community and taken from us our dear friend, Grandma Trosper; and now as we pass by her door we miss her kind "how'dy, won't you come in and rest", that her friends have heard so many times.
Palmyra Bunch was born in Grundy County, MO December 31, 1832, and passed away at her home in Dayville Thursday , October 25, 1928 at the age of 96 years, 9 months and 24 days.
When a young woman she was married to Wm. Johnson Trosper, and three children were born to this union, Mrs. Margaret Glover, George Trosper, and Catherine Weatherly, her husband and daughter, Catherine, passing away while they were still in the East.
She came to Oregon in 1888 and engaged in the stock business at Antone at which place she lived until the year of 1918.
Grandma Trosper's life is a wonderful history. The days of her youth were spent at toil and labor, while she met the conflicts of life with a determined will, and not until she moved to Dayville in 1918 did she settle down to rest. She was always industrious, economical, honest and upright, which won for her great respect and many friends.
Although when a child there was no one to teach her to spell, she became a great reader and was very much interested in the affairs of the nation, reading her daily papers and discussing history and present day events with her friends until she was stricken with her last illness.
She loved her country, her home, her children and her friends. She was not only a mother to her own children, but to her grand children, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren, whom she has left to carry on the work that she began so many years ago.
On Friday, October 25th, R.A. Ford read the history of her life to a large number of friends who had gathered to pay their last respects to this splendid old pioneer and then her body was taken to Fossil where the American Legion took charge, and she was laid to rest in a vault which she had had prepared, beside the body of her grandson, Arthur E.
Glover, who gave his life on the battle field of France, fighting for liberty.
Besides her son, Geo. Trosper and daughter Mrs. M.E. Glover, she leaves two grandchildren, Mrs. Carlos *Valade* and Geo. C. Glover, eleven great grandchildren, Earl, Walter, *Darrell*, May, Ralph and Edna *Valade*, Holbert, Artice, Oral, Theron and Hermeline Glover and one grandson, Earl Junior *Valade*."
