Mrs. C.O. Iseley Passed Away
Mrs. C.O. Iseley passed away Sunday morning at the age of 34 years, 1 month and 17 days. While she had been sick for a long time, and had for the last year and a half been very ill, she was not thought dangerous until just recently. She put up a wonderful fight to the very last.
Florence Gore was born in Scammon, Kansas, July 3, 1893, and had lived in this neighborhood most of her life. She was married to C.O. Iseley on December 20, 1915. To this union four boys were born, the twins dying at birth, and the two sons surviving are Robert Royce, aged 9, and Dillard Marshall, aged 4. She was a member of the M.E. Church and lived a faithful Christian to the last. Was also a member of the Eastern Star lodge and American Insurance Union and was always ready to do her part as long as her health permitted. She leaves to mourn her loss her husband and two children, her aged mother, Mrs. Abbie Gore, six sisters: Mrs. Jessie Reid of Pittsburg; Mrs. Alice Ottley of Olathe; Mrs. Agnes Price of Columbus; Mrs. Anna Hadlock of Cherokee; Mrs. Mame Graham of Pittsburg and Mrs. Lillian Hadlock of Pittsburg; three brothers: Fred Gore of Caney; Elmo Gore of Coffeyville; and Robert Gore of Scammon, and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church Tuesday afternoon by Rev. W.H. Bunting. A quartet composed of Mrs. Olin H. Curry, Mrs. Nelle Rogers, Mr. Luther Hargrove, and Mr. Fred Sturgeon sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and Mrs. Curry sang "Face to Face" with Mrs. F.L. Tharp at the organ. The church was a bank of flowers which were presented by friends of Mrs. Iseley. The pall bearers were all past masters of the local Masonic lodge, W.R. Cunningham, Alex Wallace, W.W. Malcolm, Henry Hallam, Wm. Batten and H.B. Price. Rev. Bunting took as his text St. Matthew 25:21. At the cemetery the Order of the Eastern Star put on their beautiful and impressive ceremony.
We have known Mrs. Iseley for many years, long before she was married, and she was a fine woman. Her thought during the years of her sickness has been for her home and her boys. When the picnic was going on just the first of last month, she came to town and took a chair in front of our office that the boys might see more of the carnival. This was the last real visit we had with her, and she was bright and hopeful, although we could see that she was suffering.
The Kansas Gas & Electric Co. boys were here in great numbers to express their sorrow. We were much impressed with this, as it shows the love and respect in which they hold Mr. Iseley, who has long been an employee of that company.
Our heart goes out in sympathy to Clarence and the boys, as well as other relatives, in their bereavement. Just why such a lovely character who was needed so badly, should be taken, is one of the unsolved mysteries, but one which much be met by all.
Interment was in the Cherokee cemetery, where she was laid away by loving hands.
