The news reached Idabel,Tuesday afternoon of the death of Mrs. M.E. Lindsey,which occurred about 1 O'clock that day near Garvin.
Mrs. Lindsey formerly lived in this city , having moved to Garvin a few months ago to live with her nephew,Charlie Holman. She had many warm friends here,as well as elsewhere, who will regret to learn of her death. She was a good Christian woman and neighbor in its truest meaning. We will miss her from our community.
Mrs. Lindsey contracted lagrippe several weeks ago, from which malady she never survived. She was about 76 years old, and leaves several children, being the mother of A. Fuquay,of Garvin,Miss Mat Fuquay,Mrs. Ruby Hall,and possibly others whom we cannot recall at this time.
She was loved by the people in the Lone pine Addition where she resided while in Idabel.

"Smooth the locks of silver hair,
On our mother's brow with tenderest care,
Gather the robes in final fold
Around the form so still and cold;
Lay on her bosom, pure as snow,
The fairest, sweetest flowers that grow,
Kiss her and leave her our hearts delight;
Her pain is over, she sleeps tonight."

Mrs. Lindsey was born in Murray County, Tenn., October 17th 1852, and at the age of 17 years, united with the church and lived and died in the faith. She was one of the pioneer settlers of Eastern Oklahoma and lived to see this section transformed from a forest primeval into a land of happy homes and fertile farms.
Her life was one of unselfish devotion to her family. no night was so dark, no day was so cold, no distance was so great that she did not respond most cheerfully to the cry and pain and suffering, like the Master, whose she was and whom she served, she literally gave her life for others, and with modesty and humility she "Went about doing good."
Reverently and tenderly her frail and tired body was laid to rest Wednesday afternoon in Waterhole Cemetery, surrounded by a vast concourse of mourning friends and relatives. The burial service was read by Rev. J. S. Baird, of Idabel. Two sons and three daughters, besides a host of relatives and friends are left behind to mourn her loss and reverse her memory.
"She being dead, yet speaketh."
