Buried at Ekron

   The remains of Mrs. Joe Gilliland, who died at her home in this city were interred at Ekron.
    Mrs. Gilliland had been ill of consumption for several weeks and she suffered patiently until the end came.
    Before her marriage to Mr. Gilliland she was Miss Emmie Brown. She was thirty years of age and besides her husband, she left four children.

Kate’s Notes:
   The Emmie (Brown) Gilliland of this obituary was the wife of Joseph Gilliland, born April 11, 1874 to Adam Gilliland (b. Indiana) and Artemesia Foushee of Kentucky (the name also recorded as Fousheer). Joseph’s death followed that of his wife by just seven years. He passed away at Cloverport, Breckenridge County, Kentucky on Sepember 15, 1915, also of tuberculosis.
   In the 1910 census the household of Joseph and Emmie included their son Dolphus, 11; daughter Rena, 9; son Hugh, 6, and Walter, 4.
   An Ohio Foushee family of my acquaintance told me long ago that the Foushees are of French Huguenot origins. In that family they pronounced the surname as FooSHAY.
