LONG life ended
MRS. ELIZA EsiMONS DIES AT AGE
OF NINETY TWO YEARS.
Was Pioneer of 1852 and Oldest Wo-
man lin Dallas, Where She Hal
Resided Sixty-One Years.

Mrs. Eliza G. Emmons, pioneer OF
1852 and the oldest woman in Dallas
lied at bei home yesterday afternoon
at 4:20 o'clock, after an Illness of ten
days. Her death was the result of the
decline due to old age. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Mrs. Emmons had
passed the age of four score and
twelve, her mind had remained un-
impaired and she retained her facul-
ties until the end.
Mrs. Eliza G. Emmons was born
October IA, 1917, in Logan County,
Ohio, and was descendant of an old
English family that had early made
America their home. Her father, Lott
Garwood, was born in Virginia in
1892 and died in Ohio in 1857. His
wife was Ruth Branson, native of
Virginia To this union three child
the second child.
In 1885, at the age of Is years, Miss
Garwood became the bride of John
H. Robb, a native of Pennsylvania
Seventeen years after their marriage,
Mr. and Mrs Robb crossed the plains
to Oregon, reaching Polk County Sep
tember 20, 1852. They located on a
donation claim near Bethel, but later
returned to Dallas, where they had
stopped previous to the settlement on
the claim. After another effort at
farming, this time a short distance
south of Dallas, Mr.. Robb took a trip
to California. He died in the Fall of
1861, at the age of At years.
On January 18, 1852 Mrs. Robb
was again married, her second hus-
band being Johannes Emmons, a ma
tive of New York who had crossed the
plains to Oregon in 1852. Mr.. EN-
mons was a man of excellent business
and clerical ability and as a Republi-
can, he held several political offices in
Polk County, among them being Coun-
ty Treasurer, Deputy Court Clerk and
Postmaster of Dallas. He successfully
conducted general merchandise
store in Dallas for several years, and
engaged in farming two
miles east of town. He died June 16,
1902, at the age of so years.
Mrs. Emmons left no family, her
only child having died in infancy. She
had, however, been a kind mother to
many orphan children, there having
been no time in her younger years
when she did not have in her home
one or more motherless boys or girls.
The late Newman Garwood and the late
w. c. Brown were among those who
had made their home with Mrs. EN-
mons in their boyhood She also adopt
ed and raised from childhood, Mrs.
]. S. Cooper, of Independence, and
Mrs. Anna Coad, of this city.
Mrs Emmons was a woman of wide
reading and was a delightful compan-
ion. She possessed a keen memory of
persons and events and in her old
age was able to wildly recall circum-
stances and incidents dating back as
FAR as 1880. She was devoutly relig-
ous woman and was a faithful MEM
Der of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
She left no near relatives save neph-
sws and nieces residing in California.
The funeral services will be con-
lucted at the residence tomorrow
wednesday, afternoon at 2 o'clock.
