Obituary: New Iberian, 1974 Sylvia (Pemberton) Atwill Passes Away
In our last issue of The New Iberian, we noted that Sylvia was nigh
unto death. Her waning strength did not last her to live until this
next issue came out. In fact, she passed away as we were in the midst
of addressing and mailing that issue--Wednesday, February 13, at about
6:00 in the evening.
Sylvia was born March 10, 1910, to Mr. and Mrs. Wade and Edna (Wall)
Pemberton some six or seven miles west of Iberia. She was married to
Spurgeon Atwill in Vienna, Mo., on June 3, 1942. Her husband survives
her. Also surviving is an only son, Daniel K. Atwill, of Kansas City,
Mo.
Sylvia was a classmate of this editor and graduated from Iberia Academy
in May 1930. She then went on to the Iberia Junior College and received
a degree from that institution. She then furthered her education in
attending Berea College, Berea, Kentucky. When she finished her work
there, she returned to the faculty of Iberia Jr. College and the
Academy where she had many interested students in the art of hand
weaving and home industries. She studied at Iowa State University at
Ames and also became a graduate of Lincoln University in Jefferson City.
In her later teaching career she taught 18 years at the Iberia Public
Schools as an elementary instructor. She retired from active teaching
in 1970. At that time she was honored by her fellow teachers and the
school administration.
Sylvia leaves behind an outstanding group of brother and sister
families. There are six Pemberton brothers: Emil, Harold and James of
Iberia; Victor of Kansas City, Kans.; Don of Cape Girardeau and Lynn of
Coal City, Ill.
