Died at her home on the Gasconade river, Mrs. Chas. George
of heart failure Thursday night and was laid to rest in the Green Cemetery
Saturday afternoon. She was a splendid woman and leaves seven sons, one
daughter, and husband to mourn their loss. They telegraphed her son, Theodore
in Oklahoma immediately and on account of a washout he never got here till
Saturday night the train being 19 hours late.
Mrs. Martha George, wife of Charley George, died January
20th, 1916. Mrs. George was born in Wright county, Mo., Aug.11, 1858 and was 57
years, 4 months, and 9 days of age. She was married to Charley George in the
year 1880. There were nine children born to this union, seven boys and two
girls. One girl died in her childhood. Six boys and one girl were present at
the funeral. The oldest boy failed to get home in time on account of the train
being delayed.
Mrs. George was a good wife, mother, and neighbor and will
be greatly missed by us all. We feel sad because she is gone from us, but while
we weep and wonder she may be wrapped in garments of light, and warbling songs
of celestial joy. She will return to us no more.
What family circle has remained unbroken- no empty chair- no
cherished mementoes- no members transferred to the illimitable Beyond? Alas! We
all have felt or seen its power.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and
pray that it may be an unbroken family in the glorious beyond.
Rev. Tull
Pulaski County Democrat
January 27, 1916
