The death of Mrs. S. A. Adcock which occurred Sunday evening at five o'clock, came as a great shock to her many relatives and friends here and elsewhere.
Mrs. Adcock had been in rather poor health for several months. She was stricken with a cold while visiting her daughter, Mrs. Harvey Smith
of Owensville, who had just recently returned home from the hospital after a severe operation. Mrs. Adcock then developed pneumonia passing away about eight days after reaching home.
Mary Elizabeth Bear was born January 28, 1874, near Tuscumbia, the daughter of John and Delilah Dobson Bear, being 64 years and 23 days old at the time of her death.
She grew to womanhood near and in Tuscumbia, and on December 17, 1899, she was united in marriage to Samuel A Adcock. To this union four
children were born---Raymond of Owensville; Ross and Garland of Tuscumbia, and Mrs. Harvey (Mildred ) Smith of Owensville, all of whom, with
their father, survive her. In addition to the husband and four children, she is mourned by two brothers, J. B. Bear of Las Animas, California, and W. M. Bear of Ash Grove; a half brother, J. W. Bear of near Crocker; and seven grandchildren, who are Raymond Arthur Adcock, Harold Wayne Adcock,
Howard Benjamin, Betty Lou and Patsy Joan Adcock and Joyce Audrey and Phillip Harvey Smith. She was preceded in death, by one half sister
Mrs. Minnie Wyrick.
She united with the Mt. Zion Christian church about 17 years ago and lived faithful to her Christian belief until her departure. She was a devoted mother, a kind neighbor, and she will not only be sadly missed by her own family, but the entire community feels the loss of this good woman.
Funeral services were conducted at the Mt. Zion Christian church at 9;00am by Rev. W. E. Waddell, pastor of the Tuscumbia Christian Church,
who took as his text Psalm 17:15---"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness I shall be satisfied when I awake, with thy likeness."
Music was in charge of T C Wright, superintendent for the Tuscumbia Schools, assisted by a quartet composed of Mrs. T. C. Wright, Mrs. Curtis Barton, Judge W. S. Stillwell and Roger Stillwell.
Following the impressive service attended by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends, the body was laid to rest in the Bear Cemetery beside her parents.
