Mrs. E.M. Viquesney Dies; Funeral Sunday
Wife of Local Sculptor, the Former Miss Elizabeth Sadler, Passed Away at Spencer Home
Mrs. Elizabeth Sadler Viquesney
Mrs. Elizabeth (Sadler) Viquesney, a widely-known and most talented organist, and wife of Ernest M. Viquesney, creator and distributor of the "Doughboy Statues", died last Thursday afternoon at her home on North Fletcher Ave. following a few months illness.
She was the daughter of Ed Sadler of Spencer and the late Mrs. Minnie (Wooden) Sadler. For over 25 years the deceased was oragnist at the Spencer Methodist Church. After she and Mr. Viquesney were married he purchased for her one of the finest Hammond electric organs and for the past ten years has favored thousands of soldiers and sailors, and all friends with her gifted talent at the organ. "Betty", as she was called by many, played concerts at Bloomington for a number of years and also played concerts at Canyon Inn, McCormick's Creek State Park, and many other places throughout the state. One of her last concerts was played here in Spencer when Mooney Sales & Services was formally opened. Here she played for her Owen county friends and neighbors. She possessed a most pleasing personality, was talented and was truly loved and honored by many.
Survivors include the husband; her father, two sisters, Misses Pauline and Mildred Sadler, all of Spencer; and several aunts and uncles.
Funeral rites were held Sunday afternoon at three o'clock at West's Funeral Home, Rev. D.P. Rowlette, minister of the Baptist Church, in charge; and interment was made in Riverside cemetery.
