ELIZABETH ARBELLA (BOWERSOX) OVERHOLSER past 80 years of age, one of the most highly respected and esteemed citizens of this community, passed away at her home in this place at 4:15 o'clock this morning following an illness of several months from heart trouble. Mrs. Overholser had been a resident of Coleta for about 60 years. She was preceded in death by her husband, he passing away two years ago last August. Four children are left to mourn the passing of their mother. They are Ralph and Fred Overholser, Mrs. P. A. McCray, all of Coleta, and Mrs. Harlow Drury of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Four brothers and two sisters also survive — William, Clay, Markwood and James Bowersox, Mrs. Laura Fordice, Miss Jennie Bowersox, all of Shueyville, Iowa. Funeral services will be held at the Liberal U. B. church at 10:30 o'clock Friday [01/04/1929] morning, conducted by Rev. S. E. Blimline, Burial will be in the Bethel cemetery near Milledgeville (Carroll Co).
Obituary: Mrs. Elizabeth Bowersox Overholser was born in Augusta county, near Staunton, Virginia, on the eleventh day of November, 1848, and departed for her heavenly home on the second day of January, 1929, at 4:15 o'clock in the morning. She was of staunch German extraction, her father being James Bowersox, a minister in the United Brethren church, and her mother Margaret Shuey. When Mrs. Overholser was five years of age a group of thirty, which included her family, under the direction of her grandfather, Jacob Shuey, started for Iowa where their future home was to be established. Theodore F. Shuey, in a recent letter to Mrs. Overholser, makes the following observation about the beginning of this pioneer trip: "Your grandfather's first night on the road was spent at what is still known as Grassy Place. His old friends and neighbors accompanied him that far, and a great part of the night was spent in singing and prayer." Seven weeks were required to make the trip. Mrs. Overholser was fond of referring to the fact that during the entire trip the company never traveled on Sunday but set apart the day for worship. This group on reaching Iowa settled near Cedar Rapids, founding the town of Shueyville. Here Mrs. Overholser spent sixteen years, sharing with the other members of the family the hardships and privations of pioneer life. Her education was secured in the public school of Shueyville and in Western college. On October 3, 1869, she was married to David C. Overholser, who was conducting a store at Western, Iowa. Immediately they came to Coleta, and settled on the Overholser farm one mile west of town, Here they lived for seventeen years, during which time their seven children were born. During the succeeding nineteen years the Overholser family lived on the old homestead, and here they remained until they retired from the farm in 1905. For the past 23 years the Overholser home has been in the town of Coleta. To Mr. and Mrs. Overholser were born seven children: Waldo A., who died in 1921; Elery, who died in 1890; Mrs. Margaret McCray, of Rolfe, Iowa; John D., who died in 1911; Mrs. Julie Drury, of Ponce, Porto Rico [sic]; Ralph E. and Fred R., of Coleta. Mr. Overholser died August 1, 1926, and since that time Mrs. Overholser was anticipating with joy the time when they would be reunited and the happy relations that always existed between them would be renewed. Mrs. Overholser is survived by four brothers and two sisters, who reside in Shueyville, Iowa, two daughters and two sons, twelve grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. In early childhood Mrs. Overholser became a member of the United Brethren church and has always been a devoted and consistent Christian. She was intensely religious and was deeply interested in all that is related to the Kingdom of God. While deeply loyal to her church, she was not sectarian. She was always ready to make sacrifices for the Kingdom's sake. To missionary interests she gave freely of her time and means, withholding nothing. Her greatest contribution was a daughter. Her home was one of ideal beauty and serenity. She was a real homemaker. Her own beauty of character permeated the home. The memories of home constitute for her children the richest blessing. No unkind or censorious word ever fell from her lips. She lived the Christ life at home and in the community. The heritage that she has left us is priceless.
(Funeral Notice) - Funeral services for Mrs. Elizabeth Overholser were held Friday [01/04/1929] afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Liberal U. B. church, conducted by Rev. F. E. Blimline, pastor of the church. Rev. O. E. foster, a former pastor of the church here, now stationed at Rockford, was expected here to assist in the services, but he had a break down at Freeport and was unable to get here in time for the funeral. A large crowd was present to pay their last respects to one whom they loved as a friend and neighbor, familiarly known as "Aunt Lizzie." Her life stands out as a true example in the profession of Jesus Christ and she was always found in the service of her Master, when health and opportunity permitted. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Misses Lettie Garwick and Irene Boughman sang appropriate selections, assisted by Mrs. A. H. Maxwell at the piano. The following friends of the deceased acted as pall bearers: L. V. Reecher, J. M. Winkey, Miles Wallace, Herman Dusing, M. F. Frankfother, E. S. Colcord. Burial was in the family lot at the Bethel cemetery. The following friends and relatives from a distance were here to attend the funeral, James Bowersox and son James Bowersox, Jr., and daughter Miss Anna Bowersox of Shueyville, Ia., William Shuey of Davenport, Ia., H. T. Meakins and Clare Meakins of Winfield, Ill.
