There is sorrow to-day in the Old Ladies' home at Twenty-ninth and Cherry Streets, for its old inhabitant, Mrs. Charlotte D. Poulton, in her 90th year, passed quietly away yesterday morning. She had been ailing for the last two weeks. The funeral will be held at the home at 10:30 this morning.
Mrs. Poulton had the most interesting his story of any old lady who has ever lived at the home. As she was fond of telling visitors herself, she was not only a daughter, but a granddaughter of the American Revolution. Both her father and her grandfather fought in the war of 1776. Her father also fought in the war of 1812. She was descended through her mother from Peter Hyde, who, it is claimed, was the first passenger aboard the Mayflower to step upon Plymouth rock.
Mrs. Poulton, the youngest of eleven children, was born in Oneida county, near Utica, N.Y., Oct 9, 1810. She lived all her young life in that state. Her father, John Deming, was of an inventive turn of mind, having thought out the wool spinning wheel. This inventive turn seems to have run in the family. A sister of Mrs. Poulton later invented an improvement on her father's patent, in more recent years a nephew, Frederick Deming, is said to have invented the first typewriter. When Mrs. Poulton was a young girl she rode on the first railway train that ever went from Utica to New York city.
After her marriage Mrs. Poulton came to Ohio and lived there twenty-five years. Then with her husband and adopted daughter, she came to Missouri. The boat upon which they made their trip burned, and they arrived in Bates county, where they had bought a farm, almost destitute of clothing and household goods. This made a mortgage upon the farm necessary, the foreclosing of which many years later threw Mrs. Poulton into the home for aged women.
Mrs. Poulton was one of the first of the old ladies to come to the home, after its establishment in 1890. She had always been a favorite amoung both inmates and visitors, owing largely to her interesting life history. About three years ago the Elizabeth Benton chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution discovered her and made her an honorary member of their organization. They presented her with a gold spoon which she delighted in showing to people who came to see her. Mrs. Poulton's loss will be felt by her companions at the home and the friends that she had (?). She was amiable and not exacting, even in her last illness. Her death had been expected for some time and she herself and often said, "I am perfectly ready to die." The only relative who survived her is Thomas Patton, of Kansas, the husband of her adopted daughter. Mr. Patton himself is 72 years old.
