At her old home near Carbon Center, Jan. 16, 1898, Mrs. Rebecca Ewell, aged 76 years, died of paralysis after an illness of two weeks. She had suffered two slight strokes before this one and had expressed herself as ready and waiting for her summons home. Her children gathered about her bedside in loving watchfulness during her last hours, hoping and praying that she would regain the power of speech if only for the last words of parting before death. Two daughters had come from Oklahoma and one son from New Mexico, but their only recognition was a loving look of welcome. She did not speak after being stricken and her kind Father mercifully ended her sufferings with his loving invitation home. Mrs. Ewell, or Aunt Becky, as she was familiarly called by her large circle of friends, was one of the oldest settlers in the county. She and her husband came to this county from Shelbyville, Tenn., in 1849, and lived here through the fierce and bloody struggles of the civil war.
It is with a sense of personal loss that each of Aunt Becky's friends thinks of her death. She bore so long the relationship of the older sister to the old, the mother and grandmother to the young that she seemed to belong to all of us alike. For a number of years it was the custom for the entire neighborhood to gather at her home with well filled baskets to celebrate her birthday and wish her health for another year.
Aunt Becky was a devoted christian, a loving mother, and a kind and faithful friend. She was a member of the church 52 years, helping to organize the first church here after the war at Stringtown, which afterward became the Christian church of Carbon Center, Mo. Six children survive her, two sons and four daughters, a number of grand children and two great grand children.
Her funeral was preached Monday morning at 10 o'clock in the Christian church at Carbon Center by Rev. W. Miller of New Home, Mo., who preached her husband's funeral 24 years ago. She was laid to rest in the Carbon Center cemetery.

A peculiar coincidence in the death of Mrs. Rebecca Ewell, who died near Carbon Center Sunday and was buried Monday, is that just twenty-four years before, her husband, Jesse Ewell, died and was buried at Balltown. The Rev. Wm. Miller, who preached Mrs. Ewell's funeral, also preached the funeral of her husband twenty-four years before.
