| Text | Angie Overton Keeling, daughter of R. C. and Amanda Overton, was born July 24, 1869 at the old Overton homestead near Wheaton, Mo., where she was residing at the time of her death. She departed this life May 31, 1939, at the age of 69 years, 10 months and 7 days.
She was united in marriage to Samuel A. Keeling in June 1892. To this union was born five children. Two of them, Robert and Emmer, proceeded her in death. She leaves to mourn her passing her devoted husband, three children, Mrs. Gladys Tarvin and Byron Keeling of Shoal Creek Community and Mrs. Imogene Plaster of Tulsa, Okla.; eight grandchildren; three brothers, Dr. B. F. Overton of Mexia, Texas, R. C. Overton, Adair, Okla., Grover Overton, Muskogee, Okla.; two sisters Mrs. Lillie Hawks of Sacramento, Calif., and Mrs. Jessie Richardson of Wheaton, Mo., many other relatives and a host of friends. Eleven brothers and sister have preceded her in death. She was converted in early life and united with the Methodist Church but later was one of the charter members of the Free Will Baptist Church of Okla. Union of which she remained a faithful member until her death. Mrs. Keeling’s life was one of great influence for good. The spirit to do good and help her neighbors was always shown. Her death takes from this community one of the finest characters among us. We have felt her comforting spirit and enjoyed her loyal hospitality. From her heart, she radiated the influence of a vivid personality. Funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon, June 2, at the Okla. Union Church by Elder Kenneth Turner and Elder T. Farmer of Granby, Mo., and the remains were laid to rest in the family cemetery, under the direction of the Koon funeral service. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled. One more light on the shinning strand, One more welcome our steps to greet, One more waiting to take our hand, At the pearly gates of the Golden Street. Card of Thanks Our heartfelt thanks to all who extended comforting sympathy and help in our recent sorrow. For the beautiful service, floral offerings and other kindness, we are deeply grateful. S. A. Keeling, Mrs. Gladys Tarvin and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bryon Keeling and family, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Plaster. |
