| Text | Mrs. Ann Catron, widow of Peter Catron who was one of the prosperous pioneer farmers of the House locality, and Mrs. Marcy C. Roberts who for many years was one of the prominent citizens of the Hickum Prairie country in the eastern part of the county, died last week. Mrs. Catron was 89 years old and Mrs. Roberts was 86. Both were mothers of large families and were excellent Christian women possessing that simple but sterling character which so often characterized the mothers and the fathers of the early days when all of the hardships of the pioneer had to be met in the battle of life. For more than four fifths of a century these women had lived. They had experienced life as it was lived during three generations. They contributed their humble part to the noble but quiet work of molding a great nation from the little group sparsely settle states of nearly ninety years ago. Mrs. Roberts leaves eight children: John of Alluwee, Okla., M. H. and J. O. and Mrs. H. C. Henson of Golden, Mrs. Sarah Venable of Wayne, Mrs. Marble Tuttle and Mrs. Annie Talby of Idaho. Mrs. Catron left six children living: Hiram who lives in Mexico, Mrs. Ibby Glass of Wyandotte, Okla., Burrell and Andy Catron and Mrs. Kate McNabb of near Cassville and Jasper Catron of Lawrence County. Mrs. Catron was at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ibby Glass, at Wyandotte when she died. Her body was shipped to its old home for burial. The funeral was held Friday at the Antioch Baptist Church and interment made in the cemetery there. Mrs. Roberts was a member of the Christian church and had been for about 66 years. Following he funeral services her body was laid to rest in the Spring Grove Cemetery. |
