Died, on the 5th day of January, 1902, at her home near Riddle ford south of Dixon, Pulaski county, Mo., Mrs. Cora Underwood, wife of J.C. Underwood. She struggled with pneumonia eight days, but shoe bore her sufferings with a fortitude which characterizes a true Christian, which indeed she was, having been a consistent member of the church for about six years. She was born Jan. 21, 1875, being nearly 27 years old at death. She was married to J.C. Underwood Aug. 16, 1896.
Cora was an industrious daughter, a faithful and devoted wife and loving mother. She was the daughter of J.E. and M.C. Hamilton, well known and respected citizens of this community. Her place in the family circle will be sadly missed, her place in society hard to fil.
Her body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Mitchell Chapel in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends, to await the morning of the resurrection.
She leaves a husband, two children and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her untimely death.
Cora, it is hard to say good-bye, but we will strive to meet you in heaven.
