The following contains excerpts from Emily's funeral memorial service:
Emily Melissa Allder, daughter of James and Sarah Allder, was born in Christian County, Kentucky, February 7, 1846; died near Cane Hill, Missouri, January 30, 1941; lacking only 8 days of being 95 years of age.
She was one of a family of six children, who, with their mother, came to Cedar County before the Civil War, having made the journey from Kentucky in an ox drawn wagon. Her father, James Allder died in 1858. The family was intending to move to Texas, but turned to Missouri because of continuing Indian uprisings. The Cane Hill area was where her Grandparents Nicholas and Mary Pyle had lived since the 1830s. Her mother Sarah also had brothers and sisters living here.
She was married to William Wesley Pyle August 8, 1867. To this union were born 8 children, Luther, Emma, Josie, Myrtle, Madge, Clyde, John and Harry, who mourn her departure. She also leaves 16 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends.
She was converted at an early age and united with the Methodist Church. She was a staunch supporter of the church and constant attendant until ill health and the infirmities of age prevented.
Hers was a life of sacrifice and toil, having lost her companion 44 years ago, she was forced to rear her family alone and unaided. Many have been her calls to the bedside of the sick, many have been her ministrations to the unfortunate and needy; and as we look around the home and see the many beautiful creations of her handiwork, our hearts bleed anew. Always looking on the bright side, always ready with a helping hand or a word of cheer.
Thus we remember her.
