Pioneer Woman Is Claimed By Death
Mrs. J.W. Pewthers, resident of the community north of Mountain View since 1896 passed away at the family home Friday, Jan. 11, at the age of 82. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in Mountain View Saturday and interment was made in the Mountain View cemetery. Several from this community attended the funeral service.
Nancy Elizabeth Yoachum was born Dec. 22, 1852 in Lawrence county, Mo., near Springfield and moved to McDonald county when just a child and lived until she was married.
She was united in marriage to J.W. Pewthers September 25, 1870, and moved to Texas in 1872, locating near Sunset. The family moved to Oklahoma August 10, 1896 and homesteaded near their present home.
To this union were born five sons, Joshua, William, Jesse, Ernest and John A., and one daughter, Joe Etta Pewthers Boschee of Pauls Valley, a grandson, was left without a mother at the age of 14 months, and was reared and loved by Grandmother Pewthers as her son. He was with her and nursed her the last few days of her life.
Mrs. M. L. McAtee was left without a father or mother at the age of two years and she became a foster daughter of Mrs. Pewthers, and was always loved by her as her own daughter. She, too, was at the bedside in the last few hours of her foster mother's life.
Grandmother Pewthers leaves to mourn her going her husband, J. W. Pewthers, four sons, one foster daughter, twelve grandchildren and six great grandchildren and a host of friends.
She professed faith in Christ at the age of 12 years and joined the Missionary Baptist church at Union Hill, Texas in 1875 and has been a faithful, dependable church worker since that time.
