Mrs. Samuel Elmer Cogswell
Kirwin Kansan--June 22, 1927
Mrs. S. E. Cogswell Very Sick
Mrs. S. E. Cogswell continues to be very sick. Some two or three weeks ago she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and since then has been partially paralyzed and knows her family only a part of the time. There is no change in her condition today.
Dora Addie Collins, daughter of Eli and Susan Wentworth Collins, was born at Stockton, Cass County, Missouri, on June 28, 1860. The family moved from Missouri to Iowa, coming to Kansas about 1870.
She was married on February 23, 1881, to Samuel E. Cogswell at Paola, Kansas. Four children were born to this union, two of them dying in infancy.
Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell lived for many years in Reno County, Kansas, coming to Kirwin in 1903 where they have since made their home.
She was a member of the First Congregational Church of Kirwin, Kansas, having her membership transferred from the United Presbyterian Church of Pretty Prairie, Kansas.
She passed away at her home in Kirwin, Kansas, on June 25, 1927, lacking three days of being 67 years of age.
Surviving members of her family include her husband and a son, Archie R. Cogswell of Kirwin, a son, Claude I., and three grandchildren of Agra, Kansas; a brother, Dr. Ed Collins of San Diego, California, a brother, Jesse W. Collins of Denver, a sister, Mrs. Mary Yoho of Smithshire, Illinois, a sister, Mrs. Anna Huff of Parker, Kansas, and a number of other relatives and friends.
Mrs. Cogswell had been sick almost two months. At first she suffered from a chronic trouble and got a good deal better for a little time. Then a cerebral hemorrhage occurred almost four weeks ago. After that she was only conscious a very little of the time. Doctors and nurses did all that could be done but could only postpone for a little while the inevitable result. Mrs. Cogswell was a devoted wife and mother. She was a faithful attendant at the Congregational Sunday School and church and she will be greatly missed in these circles as well as in the community where she had many friends.
Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon under the charge of Ferry L. Platt, assisted by Rev. O. N. Wiles. A ladies' sextette composed of Mesdames Marie McQueen, Martha Klontz, Grace Brotemarkle, Blanche Ronan, Retta Townsend, and Lena Royce sang "We Are Going Down the Valley", "Rock of Ages", and "The Old Rugged Cross". Marion Klontz, Otto Werner, Roy Clarke, Paul Royce, Wynn Townsend, and Tom Atchison acted as pallbearers. Many beautiful flowers were sent by sympathetic friends as a tribute to the departed. Interment was made with the Star service in the Kirwin cemetery.
