Mrs. Christina Price Dead
The death of Mrs. Christina Price, wife of Postmaster J.F. Price, which occurred at about half past twelve o'clock on last Sunday morning came so suddenly and so wholly unexpected as to shock the entire community and to leave the family prostrated from the suddenness of the blow.
Mrs. Price was in her usual good health in the evening except that she complained of a slight headache and a few minutes afterward she became unconscious. When medical aid was called out Doctors Hays and Iliff did all in their power to aid her but were unable to do anything to relieve her and stated that she had been stricken with apoplexy.
She lived about two hours after she was stricken and died about half past twelve Sunday morning. Her death cast a gloom over the entire city.
Mrs. Price was highly esteemed and loved by all and she lived an exemplary life and her loss to the community will be greatly felt.
Mrs. Price was a native of Sweden, her maiden name being Christina Larson. She was born Nov. 16, 1843 being past sixty two years of age. At the seven years she came to America with her parents, settling in Iowa where her girlhood was spent and where she, forty years ago next month, was united in marriage to J.F. Price.
Mr. and Mrs. Price spent their honeymoon in a trip to Kansas and settling on a claim three miles west of the present site of Cherokee, being among the first settlers of this section. They resided on their farm until 1871 when they moved to Cherokee and have resided here ever since.
One son and two daughters are left with the bereaved father, Miss Jennie Price living at home, Mamie Breyfogle, of Chanute, and Harry B. Price of this city. A sister, Mrs. D.A. Payne and brother, John Larson live in Pittsburg.
Mrs. Price and her husband were charter members of the Methodist church in Cherokee and the latter is now the only charter member still living. She had been a member of the Methodist church since she was twelve years old, and was one of the most active and zealous workers in the cause of the Master for more than forty years. She had also been Chaplain of the Eastern Star which position she held at the time of her death.
The funeral which was held on Monday afternoon at the Methodist church was under the auspices of the Eastern Star and Rev. W.T. Freeland, pastor of the church, preached a most impressive sermon.
The funeral was one of the largest that has ever been held in Cherokee and the casket which contained the remains was covered with many beautiful flowers, the tributes of many loving friends.
The remains were laid in the Cherokee cemetery to await the call of the Master in whom she faithfully believed and in whose steps she always tried to walk.
Mr. Price and family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their hour of sorrow.
