OBITUARY
Christine Boline Christensen, daughter of Ole and Mary Christensen was born June 26, 1886, in Hamilton County, Nebraska, and departed this life Thursday, November 15th at her home north of McDonald, Kansas, at the age of 50 years, 3 months and 17 days.
In the spring of 1887 she came with her parents to Rawlins County, Kansas, where a home was established. Here she grew to womanhood, bravely facing the discouragements and hardships so well known in the pioneer days. Her education was obtained in the Kansas public schools.
On December 18, 1904, she was united in marriage to Frank H. Headrick of McDonald, Kansas. There adventure of life's journey was begun on a modest Burntwood farm. Through diligence and thrift, they acquired a comfortable home where contentment and happiness reigned. During these fleeting years, three charming daughters came to bless their home. A true companion and mother, her greatest pleasures were experienced while administering to the needs of her family and performing the duties of her home.
Several years of her young womanhood, she devotedly nursed her mother, Through this experience she acquired a degree of patience and thoughtfulness seldom attained. Those traits predominated in her life and always where suffering or sorrow dwell, in her quiet and unassuming manner, she was found ministering with gentle hands to the afflicted or uttering a word of comfort to the disheartened.
In infancy, she was christened in the Lutheran Church at Marquette, Nebraska, and later when the United Bretheren Church was organized in the Mayflower community, she became one of its members. She lived a consistent Christian life.
Although suffering frail health for several years, her affliction was borne so uncomplainingly that very few were aware of its seriousness. Several of the last calls she made were to homes where patients welcomed her cheery word of encouragement. Realizing that her affliction meant a losing battle, she displayed courage and calmness to the end.
She was preceded in death by her father in 1897, her mother in 1914, two sisters, Caroline and Carrie, and one brother, Carl Edward. Those who remain to her untimely passing were her husband, Frank H. Headrick, her three daughters, Anna May Nichols of Goodland, Kansas, Frances and Eileen at home, one son-in-law, S. D. Nichols of Goodland, Kansas, three grandchildren, Wayne, Glen and Donna Faye Nichols, many other relatives and a large circle of friends.
Though summoned by the Grim Reaper while still in the prime of life and when sorely needed by her grief stricken family and friends, we believe that the influence of her well wrought life will rest as a bediction on all with whom she has been associated and will serve as a beacon of lights to guide them onward to the noblest and best in life's destiny.
"I cannot say and will not say
That she is dead! She is just away
With a cheery smile, wave of the hand,
She has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
It must be, since she lingers there
And you, O you who the wildest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here,
Mild and gentle as she was brave
When the sweetest love of her life she gave
To simple things, where violets grew
Pure as the eyes they were likened to
The touches of her hands have strayed
As reverently as her lips have prayed
Think of her still as the same, I say
She is not dead--she is just away.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Mayflower Church, the Rev. G. C. Munion officiating. Interment was made in the Mayflower Cemetery.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all kind friends and neighbors who assisted so willingly during the illness and death of our beloved wife and mother. Your sympathy in our hour of sorrow will always be gratefully remembered. We would also express our appreciation for the lovely floral offering and thank Rev. G. C.
