DIED:-At her residence in this city Saturday, December 12, at 11:15 p.m., Mrs. Hannah K. Streator, aged 22 years, 1 month and 4 days. Mrs. Streator was born November 10, 1867, in Chicago, Ill.
At the age of 9 years she accompanied her parents to Kansas and settled on a farm in Republic County. January 7, 1884, she was married to H. B. Streator of this city.
About a week before her death she was taken sick, though not thought dangerous until Saturday morning, and in the afternoon she requested that they send over to the church and have Rev. Meeks come and pray with her, after which she made all arrangements for the funeral, requesting that Mrs. Thomas, an old neighbor, lead in the singing. The songs she selected were "Thy will be done" and "Wandering Traveler," and they were sung at the beginning and close of the funeral sermon. After making all the arrangements for her funeral, she expressed a readiness to go, the only thing that seemed to hold her to her life was to leave her husband and baby, still like the words of the song which she had selected she was ready to say "Thy will be done." and she was ready to meet her two children that had gone on before.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Meeks at the Baptist Church Monday morning, at 11 o'clock. Never before have we witnessed an audience which seemed to mourn the loss of a neighbor, so much as did the gathering at the funeral service. Among the great throng assembled not a dry eye was visible, which only spoke in a measure of the high esteem in which she was held by the entire community. To the husband and relatives we extend the sympathy of the entire city and community.
