her loss.
O Mother dear, most bitterly we miss you,
And when we gaze upon your old arm chair
Our hearts bleed as we think of you
To know we never more shall see you there.
How sad we are to know you’ll never darken
The doorway of our once happy home,
When we return no soothing word awaits us.
No smiles from our dear mother’s face to
Come.
But though we sadly mourn the loss dear
Mother
We know our loss to heaven is gain
And that you are with the saints in heaven,
Where never therein shall enter death or
Pain.

Eliza
[beth] Cathcart Smith was born
May 3, 1836. Lived with her parents until she was married, December 19, 1861,
to Martin V. [an Buren] Clute,
of Allegheny, California, where they went immediately after their union. They
resided there seven years, and then moved to Wisconsin, and from there to
Taylor county, Iowa, in 1876. In January, 1902, hoping that her health, which
had been failing for the past three years, might be benefited by a milder
climate, they went to Wagoner, Indian Territory. She suffered from chronic
bronchitis and valvular disease of the heart, and although everything was done
that loving care and medical skill could give, the end came very peacefully
Saturday morning, May 17, at half past seven, as she sat resting in her room.
The
remains were brought to Bedford for interment in Fairview cemetery. The funeral
exercises were conducted at the M. E. church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by
Rev. T. J. Ream.
She
was a faithful wife and mother, and leaves to mourn her loss her husband and
six children, Josephine F. [rances], wife of John T. [homas] Lemon, Red Rock, Oklahoma; Nellie V. [irginia], St. Cloud, Minnesota; Levi T., and Fred M.[artin], of this city, Adeline and Gaylord S. [mith], who live at the home in Wagoner; her mother, Mrs. C. Smith, of Brownville, New York; a brother in Minnesota,
a sister in California, and seven grandchildren, with many other relatives and
friends.
Her whole life was filled
with kind and useful deeds, and she was ever ready to help those whom she could
reach in time of trouble. She lies at rest in Fairview cemetery, Bedford, Iowa,
near the old home.
She is not dead, she is but sleeping,
The cold, cold grave is only
keeping
The dust to dust returning.
Death could not claim the soul
immortal,
While angels from the heavenly
portal
Bent o'er with eager yearning.

Mrs. S. S. Orton Is Dead
Mrs.
S. [ylvester] S. [herman] Orton died at her late home in this city on last Saturday morning after an illness of
several months duration. Although a constant sufferer for many days, this good
lady was a patient sufferer showing much Christian fortitude and while her
death was not unlooked for yet it came as a shock for reason that she had
appeared much improved only the afternoon before but the improvement only
foreshadowed the end of the life work of this good lady. The funeral occurred
from the residence at 8:30 Sunday morning, conducted by Rev. Page of the
Baptist church, after which the remains were taken to the Santa Fe station for
shipment to Bedford, Iowa where they will be laid to rest. Her husband being a
member of the local I. O. O. F. the members of the same attended the funeral in
a body as a mark of respect for their brother in his hour of sorrow and
desolation. The services were also made more impressive by reason of the
presence of the entire choir of the Christian Church, which conducted the song
service. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to these good folks in
this hour of sorrow.
Miranda Jane Greenlee was born Feb. 4, 1841 in Washington township,
Erie county, Pennsylvania. Moved with her parents to Taylor County, Iowa in
1868. Was married to J. M. Blackwell July 18, 1872, and was left a widow on Aug. 20, 1890; was married to S. [ylvester] S. [herman] Orton on Jan. 16, 1896. No children were born to either union. In the fall of 1901
she came to Oklahoma, living first at Stillwater, then at Marshall and five
years ago moving to Crescent. She became a member of the Baptist church at an
early age, uniting with the Baptist church at this place when she first moved
here. Two sisters, one brother, a husband and three stepchildren survive her.
