Mrs. H. Conrard Passes Away in Metamora February 11
BURIED LAST TUESDAY
Passing of Another of the Beloved Older Residents
----------
Mrs. Mary Conrard, wife of H. Conrard, the well known merchant and one of the early residents of Metamora, died at her home in Metamora at 3 p. m. last Saturday, Feb. 11. Death was due to bronchial pneumonia. Mrs. Conrard has been in feeble health for more than a year, but her final illness was but of five days duration. The illness that terminated in death was in the beginning but the common form of la grippe that has been epidemic in this neighborhood during the past month. Pneumonia developed, however, and the malady proved too much for her enfeebled body to overcome.
The news of Mrs. Conrard's death fell like a pall upon the community. Few knew that she was seriously ill. Her death is keenly felt among her large circle of friends and her friends are limited only to the number of those who knew her.
The funeral services were held in the Union church at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Rev. J. A. Munser conducted the services and preached the funeral sermon. Rev. Munser spoke touchingly and paid an eloquent tribute to the departed. The pall bearers were John L. McGuire, H. Jacquat, J. C. Irving, A. H. Wilson, J. W. Fran's and C. L. Stivers. With the conclusion of the services at the church the remains were taken to Oakwood cemetery for interment. The day was one of the stormiest of the winter, yet many turned out to the funeral.
Mrs. Conrard is survived by her husband, H. Conrard, and five children, Charles, Joseph D., Victoria and Blanch J., of Metamora, and Mrs. Mary Finch, of Chicago. Four brothers and one sister are also left to mourn her departure. They are John E., and Felix This, of Colfax, Ill.; Nicholas This, of Minneapolis, Minn.; Mrs. Victoria Webster, of Kansas; Frank This, of Fairbury. Nicholas This and Mrs. Webster were unable to arrive in time for the funeral and did not come. John and Felix This, of Colfax started for Metamora, but met with an accident in a runaway, one of the men being seriously injured, and therefore they could not come. Frank This, of Fairbury, was present, and Mrs. A. B. Christol, of Cruger, a cousin was also here. Frank Jeanpert, of Tremont, and Chas. Steube, of Peoria, friends of the family, also attended the funeral. One of the elder residents of Metamora and friend of the deceased presents the following biography and tribute:
----------
Once more it comes to the writer to speak of a friend who has solved the mystery of death. Mary This was born in France June 16, 1832. And when about 14 years of age came with her parents, brother and sisters to this country, via New Orleans to St. Louis, and later to Woodford County. She was married May 5, 1858 at Washington, Ill., to Mr. H. Conrard. In 1861 Mrs. Conrard came with her husband to Metamora, where she has resided until her death. She was the mother of eight children, five of whom, with her husband survive to mourn her passing.
Mrs. Conrard was a woman of marked individuality. She scorned the pomp and glitter of the shams of this life, and lived and toiled for those she loved. Her home was her world, and she was never so happy and content as when surrounded by her family and her flowers. When trials and adversity assailed her and her loved ones, her real character shown out the strongest. Without complaint, but in a strong, self reliant, convincing manner she stood, ever ready to do her part. Hers was a deeply sympathetic nature, but without demonstration or show she kindly gave and did for those around her. For several years past, she had suffered much but never complained and always answered with a calm peculiar smile of her own, "oh, I am all right."
She scorned vice and wrong and by her dignified personal integrity, did much to inspire and instill into all with whom she came in contact strength of character and purpose. She was a "home builder" and as such has left her example. Her life works will long survive her. That she will be missed most her family and immediate friends, we well do know, but kindly remembrance of her life will pass for much in allaying the sadness we all must feel. As a friend and neighbor we shall miss her, but as a wife and mother she will be missed and mourned with deepest regret.
