Laura E. Bristow, wife of Frank Bristow, died Wednesday afternoon, June 2, 1920, after an illness extending over several weeks. She had been in poor health for several months but not until a few weeks ago did her condition become serious. The deceased was born in Warrick county Dec. 8, 1864, she being 55 years, 5 months and 24 days of age. Her maiden name was Williamson. She and Mr. Bristow were married Jan. 11, 1887. In 1892 they moved to Winslow and have lived in that place since. To them were born two children, who, with the husband, survive. They are Mrs. Harley Heacock and Miss Elva Bristow, who was her mother's constant companion. One brother, W.T. Williamson, of Chandler, and one sister, Mrs. C.A. Deweese, of Boonville, survive, and both were with her when she passed away. Several years ago, the Bristows went into the restaurant business. Mrs. Bristow was constantly on the job and was a familiar figure to Winslow people and her passing away is mourned by the entire community. She was a good woman and had a wide circle of friends. Especially did she have many friends among the young people about town, as she never seemed to get old, but always took an interest in the doings of the young people. More than thirty years ago she united with the Methodist church. She was an active member of the Rebekah lodge of Winslow. The funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 2:30 from the family residence. Rev. E.M. Hale had charge of the services. The remains were laid to rest at Oak Hill cemetery.
