Shambaugh: Died Saturday, July 28th at 11:55 am of cancer, Mrs Lucinda Atkinson, wife of our esteemed townsman, G.H. Atkinson. Mrs Atkinson has been a patient sufferer from that dread disease which is incurable. She passed away without great suffering. All the children were present except Walter, who arrived a few hours too late. The family have our heartfelt sympathy, knowing she has gone from a world of sorrow and sickness to one of perpetual joy and happiness. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 3, 1900
Lucinda E. Morehead was born in Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov 20, 1840; died in Shambaugh, Ia, July 28, 1900. At the age of 17 she moved with her parents to West Virginia. She was married to George H. Atkinson, Jan 1, 1863. Nine children were born to them, all, except one dying in childhood, are living and grown to manhood and womanhood. Mrs Warner of New Market, a sister of Mrs Atkinson, was at the funeral. They were the only members of their father's family in the west. All the children were present at her death but Walter of Nebraska, he arriving about three hours later.
For several years she was a sufferer from that dread disease, cancer, which finally ended her life.
She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for several years before she died. While not able to engage in any active service to the church she manifested an interest in the cause of Christ, and when she neared the end of life said she was ready to go. She was greatly attached to her children, and though suffering greatly would gladly have lived longer to be of service to them.
The funeral was conducted by C.W. Posten, assisted by her pastor, Rev A.J. Andres. The sermon was preached from John xi, 26. She was buried in the Clarinda cemetery. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 17, 1900
