ELI A SHEARER
PROMINENT CITIZEN DEPARTS FOR THE UNKNOWN WORLD
[Collins Liberator August 24, 1899]
The largest funeral ever witnessed in Collins was that last Sunday,
when
nearly 1,200 friends, neighbors and relatives assembled in the city park
to
pay their last loving tribute to Eli A. Shearer. No church in the city
would
hold the vast multitude and the Odd Fellows,, under whose auspices the
last
sad rites were held, wisely made arrangements to have the services in the
grove. As it was the accommodations were too meager for the great
assemblage
and hundreds of people were obliged to stand in the sun during the
services.
A platform had been erected for this solemn occasion, and tastefully
draped in mourning. Appropriate hymns were sung by a choir especially
arranged passages of scripture were read by Rev. Purdy, invocation was
rendered b Presiding Elder Cronk of the U.B. Church and a touching sermon
was
delivered by Rev. Mowery of the Christian Church after which Rev
Huddleston
of the M.P. Church asked the blessing of God to rest with and abide by
all those present.
Rev. Mowly read the following obituary of the departed:
Eli Anderson Shearer, youngest son of a family of eight children
(6 sons and 2 daughters) born to Michael and Catherine (McCord) Shearer
was born
March 19, 1850 and died at his home 2 ½ miles north of town at 9:30
Friday,
August 18, 1899. The deceased was born in Wapello County in this state
and
moved to Story County in March 1868. His first marriage was with Rachel
Evans, who lived only 2 years after the union of hearts and hands had
been
made. One child went with her mother to a better land. He was married
to
Martha J. Jones January 29, 1882 in this county. To them have been born
seven children, four girls and three boys all of whom have been spared to
the
home. The deceased held honorable membership with the Masons, Odd
Fellows
and Yeomen, and was attested by the assistance rendered in his long
illness
and burial services. Although a man of no loud pretensions, he was held
in
high esteem by all our people, as is farther indicated by this immense
throng. The family connection in brief is as follows: Of the six brothers
five served in the late rebellion [Civil War] two dying in the service.
The
two sisters died in infancy. The parents have both passed within the
vale.
By the mother's second marriage two boys were born, one of whom is
living.
Eli's parents were married in Marion County, Indiana in 1835 and moved to
Iowa in 1847. His widow's parents live in Missouri she has a brother and
sister living near Collins.
Eli A. Shearer was a man of men. He was an ardent worker in anything
that had a tendency toward the betterment of mankind in general. To this
end
he joined the Masons, Odd Fellows and latterly the American Yeomen and
loving
hands that had grasped those of the brother in a fraternal grip
ministered to
the wants of a dying brother and assuaged as best they could the grief of
the
widow and orphans consequent upon the loss of a loving husband and
devoted father.
By request of the deceased the Odd Fellows had charge of his funeral,
the Yeomen acting as escort. The cortege was fully a mile long and, that
little
silent city south of town was on Sunday densely populated by sympathizing
friends. For hypocrisy and outward display Mr. Shearer had no use.
Plain-spoken at all times, everybody knew where to find him and respected
him
for loyalty to his views. No feeble words that we might trace could give
greater comfort to a mourning heart that that he needs not the voice of
eulogy.
Beautiful floral tributes were placed on the casket, noticeable among
them being the square and compass of the Masons, the three links of the
Odd Fellows and the bow and arrow of the Yeomen.
The Liberator extends on behalf of this entire community the
sincerest
sympathy to the inmates of the home that the ruthless hand of death has
made
desolate. The sad adieu of our friend has been taken. We will miss him.
"A post Morten examination as to the cause of Eli A. Shearer's death was
made
by Dr. Knepper last Friday at 5 P.M. and confirmed the original
diagnosis.
An illness of over five months was caused by heart trouble and
tuberculosis of one lung and the bowels."
