The Lafayette Call, commenting on the death of Miss Emma Greist, says: “Miss Emma Greist, late a school teacher at
Marion, Ind., who died at the Home
Hospital Saturday
afternoon from the effects of an operation for the removal of a fibroid tumor,
was a daughter of Edmond Greist, of Crawfordsville. She was 38 years of age and
had been teaching for several years. She came to Lafayette on last Tuesday to have the
operation performed. Miss Greist belonged to a family of teachers. Her sister,
Miss Anna Greist, who is now teaching in Pueblo ,
Col. , was employed as a
teacher in the Centennial
School for five or six
years, completing her work here in 1898. Another sister, Mrs. Lizzie Morrison,
who is now teaching in Pueblo , had charge of one
of the rooms in the Oakland
