Obituary
Miss Anna Schuster was born August the 19, 1879, at Martinstown, Missouri. She died at Chicago, Illinois, December 20, 2906, being at the time of her death twenty-seven years, four months and one day old. Since eighteen hundred and ninety-nine, Miss Schuster's home had been in Kirksville, where she was loved and respected by hundreds of friends and acquaintances, who feel deeply their loss in her death. She was popular with those who knew her intimately and highly respected by all. Many expressions of appreciation of her life and character, were heard when the sad intelligence of her death in Chicago reached Kirksville.
The deceased was not found unprepared when the messenger of death summoned her home. At the age of fifteen she professed her faith in Jesus Christ, and from that time she lived a consistent and devoted Christian life. At the time of her conversion she united with the United Brethren Church, and when she came to Kirksville seven years ago, she united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church by letter, where she was an esteemed member. She loved her church and up to the time of her leaving for Chicago was a teacher in the Sabbath school.
