Death of Mrs. Ellen Cole
Mrs. Ellen (CROCKETT) COLE died at the home of her son, W. A. Cole, last Friday night, aged over 70 years. Mrs. Cole had been bedfast for many weeks and had been practically an invalid, for the past several years. Death relieved her sufferings here and she passed happily to her reward after a life full of usefulness and service.
Funeral services were held at the Christian church Sunday at 11 o'clock, conducted by Elder CHAMBERLAIN.
The church was crowded with sorrowing friends. A long and very sorrowful cortege accompanied the remains to Valley View cemetery.
Mrs. Cole was born in North Carolina on October 8, 1840. In mid-life she united with the Christian church, having been a member for the past __ years.
Twenty two years ago in company with her husband she came to Oklahoma and has lived in Luther since this part was thrown open to settlement. Her husband departed this life Jan 17, 1902.
Mrs. Cole was well known and loved by people in the entire community and it was with great sorrow that they were at last compelled to lay her away to rest.
She is survived by one daughter and three sons -- Mrs. Dora LONG, of Neodesha, Kan, Albert COLE of Oklahoma City and
William and Otho, who reside in Luther.
