Mrs. Melissa Redford Died at her home in Ulrich, after an illness of many months, of heart trouble. She had been unable to lie down since September, being unable to breathe, and her suffering had been intense. She was tenderly cared for during her illness by her children, who left nothing undone. Mrs. Redford was born September 24, 1847. She came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moses Sevier, from Osage county, in 1856. She was th oldest of a family of ten children. Her first marriage was to A. H. Colson, who died many years ago, and she was united in marriage to A. B. Redford August 28, 1913, who died several years ago. Mrs. Redford is survived by the following children: Dr. John Colson, Schell City; Mrs. Laura Crissman, Fayetteville, Arkansas; Press Colson, Browington; B. R. Colson, Montrose; Mrs. Joseph Harness, north of Montrose; Mrs. J. R. Angle and Mrs. Ed Biggs of Clinton. Deceased retained her youthful appearance, as many would not have thought she was over 65 years of age. She enjoyed pretty clothing, was very well versed in the trend of fashion, and her gowns were always as up to date as any girl of 20. Her home was as dainty and neat as her person, and she always had her larder and cellar filled with good things to eat, so that she was ever ready for guests. Hospitality always reigned in her house, and you could never catch her unprepared for any emergency in life. She was the most unusual woman I ever knew, outstanding in my memory. She had a strong personality - unforgettable - a strong will, and with all her womanliness and love of the home, she was an excellent business woman, and her business interests always prospered. She came from on of the honored pioneer families of Henry county, and her passing is that of her generation. She was a member of the Hopewell Cumberland Presbyterian Church, near where she spent the most of her young married life.
The W. H. Sims Funeral Services was called to take charge of the body, which was taken to the Cumberland Presbyterian church in Hopewell Thursday morning for the funeral. Burial was in the cemetery near by.
