Obituary.
Mrs. Anna Doel was born July 1st, 1815 in Essicks [Essex], England. Died at Carbondale, Kansas, March 3rd, 1900, aged 84 years, 8 months and 2 days.
Anna Smith was married to George Doel January 24th, 1838. To this union was born ten children, six girls and four boys, Angilene [sic], Thomas, Jane, William, Elizabeth, Isabell, Samuel, Ada, Ida and Demon, five of whom were born in England and five in America. Mr. and Mrs. Doel with their family came to America in 1848 and located in New York, where they lived for twenty years. They moved to Kansas in 1868, locating at Auburn, Shawnee county, remaining there four years. In 1872 they came to Carbondale and were among the first permanent settlers of the town.
Grandma Doel, as she was familiarly called, was a kind neighbor, a true friend and a loving mother.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Nield of the Congregational church, at the home of her son, Demon, in this city, last Monday, and immediately following, the order of the Eastern Star performed the final, beautiful and impressive ceremonis [ceremony] of their order, of which she was a devoted member. She was the mother of our Chapter and we feel that one of the links of our golden chain has been broken, but may we cherish her memory and emulate her virtues, upon her grave flowers will bloom amid all the countless activities of nature's life.
"The murmuring brook, the bird on airy
wing,
And whispering pines, will here her
requiem sing."
The interment was in Topeka cemetery, where she was laid to rest beside her husband who died in 1873.
The pallbearers were R. B. McKee, R. H. McClair, Martin Catren, G. G. Scott, H. J. Hartman and Wm. Burns, members of the A. F. and A. M. and O. E. S. Orders. The floral emblems were many and beautiful. The children presented a handsome pillow, star and crescent. The O. E. S. an emblematic star; and many more beautiful flowers by the A. F. and A. M. and other friends.
The children who survive her have the loving sympathy of the entire community, and may they fully realize that there is wisdom and goodness in all things.
There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A whole eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here,
Translated to that happier sphere.
