Emma Olive, daughter of Nicholas and Marietta Merriwether, was born in Clinton county, Ohio, July 30, 1873; the family moved to Fayette county in 1880; four years later her mother died. She attended school at Bunker Hill; also the schools of this city and the Ohio Business University. For four years she was a faithful employee of the Dahl-Millikan Co.
She was united in marriage to Harvey C. Bybee June 18, 1896, since which time they have lived in Columbus.
Her health had been failing for a long time, and after a few days sickness she was taken to the Protestant Hospital to undergo a surgical operation, which was done Thursday, Sept. 15th; she rallied from the operation but after 48 hours the tide turned and she grew worse until the end came at 10:15 a.m., Sept. 19. She leaves a husband, two step-sons, a father and step-mother, one sister and three brothers to mourn her loss.
As a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, she was faithful, kind and true.
At her home she received every attention that loving husband and children could bestow, and at the hospital all was done that medical skill and kind nurses could do. She attended the Third Avenue Church in Columbus. She lived and died a Christian, and in conversation often voluntarily taught lessons of patience, forbearance and forgiveness.
The funeral services were held at Grace M.E. Church at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 21; sermon by Rev. Franklin McElfresh which was beautiful and impressive. The hymns that were sung were favorites of hers, often in the years that are gone have we heard her sing them; the deep, plaintive tone of the voice now silent.
To all whose sympathy and kindness found expression in word or deed we give our utmost thanks.
At 12 o'clock in the city of the dead, under the gray sky, as the autumn sun kissed the leaves that soon shall wither, all that is earthly of a grand and noble woman was laid to rest.
