Mrs. Yuba Catlett is Called Beyond
Broadlands News
Thursday, March 24, 1938, page 1
Mrs. Yuba Catlett passed away at her home here on Friday night of last week at 10:45. complications being the cause of her demise. She had been in failing health for several years, and six weeks ago fell, breaking her hip, from which she did not recover.
Funeral services were held in the local Methodist Church last Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock,
with Rev, W. Earl Hallow, the pastor, officiating.
The singers were Mrs. Mary Dicks and Mrs. Ida Messman, accompanied by Mrs. Bertha
Cook.
Interment was in Lost Grove cemetery, north of Broadlands, with Dicks Bros, local morticians, in charge.
Mrs. Yuba (Hood) Catlett was born near Jefferson, Ind., August 22, 1852. She came to Illinois in 1864 with her parents and settled on a farm eight miles west of Dallas, now Indianola.
After living several years as pioneers in the early days of Champaign County, III., the family moved to Sedalia, Mo., in the year 1869. A little later, they settled in southwest Missouri as
pioneers in Cedar Co., where they lived for seven years. In 1886 the family moved to Kingman Co. in southern Kansas, taking claims and improving farms as pioneers of that state.

In 1891 they returned to Sidell, Ill., where Mrs. Catlett met and married J. L. Catlett in 1901. In 1902 they moved to Broadlands her present home and where she died March 18, 1938, at the age of 85 years, 6 months, and 16 days.
She leaves to mourn her loss, two brothers, J. W. Hood of Cherokee, Okla., and R. M.
Hood of Logan, Okla.; and several nieces and nephews; one niece in Los Angeles, Cal.; one
in Brooklyn, N. Y., one in Chicago, one in Austin, Texas, and one at Logan, Okla.; and a host of
friends.
Mrs. Yuba Hood Catlett lived the good life, with all that may have been her faults. She believed in God, loved the Christ, and she loved people, especially children. She did the best she
could, acted the best she knew. Gave what she felt she could to charity and support of the Gospel, and who shall know but that she has pained that halo of glory and the fadeless crown.
