Per obituary found in old family scrapbook from Pierce City, Missouri: DIED "Grandma Constable at the home of daughter, Mrs. T.W. Rackerb, at 5:4_ this a.m. after a brief illness, at the ripe age of 77 years. Funeral at Christian church, Thursday at 9 o'clock a.m. Friends of the family respectfully invited to attend. The subject of this sketch removed from St. Louis to Peirce City in 1874. She was a devout member of the above church for fifty years and as such lived up to the teachings of the divine word of God. She seemed to live only for the church and for the good she could accomplish trying to bring souls to God. Grandma, as she was familiarly known was the wife of Maj. N. Constable, who departed this life six years ago. The remains will be interred in the city cemetery to rest beside the loved one gone before. Her presence will be sadly missed from the altar of worship where she was want to receive His blessings, and drink in His divine words. She leaves behind her two sons and two daughters, and numerous grand-children, who will miss her gently voice and words of consoling love, but they this assurance that she has only gone to that sweet beyond to prepare a way for them; what is their loss is her gain. The writer can only close this sketch by repeating the words of the great Bard: 'Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's call, But thou! thou has one time for thine own, oh death."
