Mrs. E. E. Pitchlynn Died Sunday Night
Mrs. E. E. Pitchlynn died at the family home a mile west of Caddo, Sunday evening at 7:30, of pneumonia, after an illness of two weeks. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Methodist Church, conducted by Rev. E. Hotchkin, of Durant. Interment was had in Caddo Cemetery.
Mrs. Pitchlynn was 37 years of age, is survived by her husband, mother, nine children and brothers and sisters. She was the daughter of Col. Peter Maytubby, belonging to one of the oldest Chickasaw families, who came as pioneers to this country.
The death of Mrs. Pitchlynn was not unexpected since the disease had taken such a hold upon her, but everything that care and medical skill was done to prolong her life, hoping almost against hope for the best. At the time of her illness the whole family was in bed with influenza and pneumonia; and relatives and neighbors and friends as well as nurses were constant in their attention.
The funeral was largely attended, the church being crowded with those who wished to pay respect to the departed and to the survivors; banks of flowers covered the rostrum, mementos of friends who could in this manner show their respects. The remains were followed to the cemetery by a large number of people.
Rev. Hotchkin’s theme was “Blessed are they who die in the Lord.” He comforted the bereaved with this thought, amplified by the fact that Christ having conquered death, and made it a goal rather than an unknown and hideous place. Those who remain may go to her since she cannot come to them.
The husband being a member of the school board, no school was held Monday and Tuesday out of respect for him.
The surviving relatives are: Mrs. T. S. Maytubby, of Caddo, Sam W. Maytubby. J. D. Maytubby, and Mrs. M. L. Tanner of Caddo; Bud Maytubby of Voca; Mrs. Mary Moore of Durant, Mrs. Sophia Miller and E. B. Maytubby of Muskogee; and Mrs. Jack Bonham of Atoka; all whom were present at the funeral.
The children are: Sophia May, Everett, Jr., Peter Paul, Ruth, Charles, Lillian, Naomi, Helen and Robert.
Mr. Pitchlynn informed us on Wednesday that all the sick are up and convalescing and that soon, he hoped, would regain their standard good health.
