Mrs. Elizabeth Chestnut, who has been quite ill and bedfast for the past month, passed to her reward Friday morning, Jan. 5th, at 4:30. Mrs. Chestnut would have been 82 years old had she lived until February. Her husband preceded her to the other world Aug. 30, 1913. They had been married over 60 years up to his death, and his going left her sad and lonely, indeed. She ever longed to go with him. Though she was in many ways peculiar to people of our time and customs, if one became will acquainted with her they would find her a true friend, kind and generous. In her early life she professed Christianity but adverse circumstances caused her to drift away from God. Often during her illnesses at different times she would ask her friends and neighbors to pray for her and ask what she should do and what she should ask God to do for her. Rev. Dederich, of Wichita, preached the funeral sermon, which was full of tenderness and mercy.
John Chestnut and family, of Pond Creek, and several other great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren attended Mrs. Chestnut's funeral.
