DEATH OF MRS. S. C. CORTELYOU
With deep regret The Herald-Patriot chronicles the passing away of a former well-known Chariton lady, Mrs. S. C. Cortelyou, which occurred at her home in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday afternoon, February 15, 1919, at 3 o'clock, at the age of about 83 years. She had been in failing health for several months but her last illness was of but four weeks duration, and she was confined to her bed but six days. Her demise was due to a cancer of the colon.
Largely attended funeral services were held at the family home, 1400 E. 12th street, Des Moines, on Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock and were conducted by Rev. E. W. McDade, pastor of the Wesley M. E. church. Mrs. Laura M. Gow and Miss Augusta Householder, who had been friends of the family for many years, sang two of the favorite hymns of the deceased.
On Tuesday the remains were brought to Chariton and at noon were laid to rest in the Chariton cemetery by the side of her husband, who died several years ago. A brief service was conducted at the grave by Rev. J. W. Goodsell, and Fred Larimer sang "Nearer My God to Thee."
Salina Catherine Allison was born in Rush county, Indiana, on February 24, 1836. She grew to womanhood there and in November, 1856, was united in marriage to Jacob Cortelyou. They moved to Leon, Iowa in 1861, and in November, 1867 came to Chariton where she made her home for forty-seven years.
Four years ago last October she sold the old homestead here opposite the Methodist church and moved to Des Moines, where she had purchased a new home and which she enjoyed until she was summoned to her home on high.
Mrs. Cortelyou had been a member of the M. E. church from early girlhood, and had lived a faithful, consistent Christian life, full of good and noble deeds.
During her residence here of almost half a century she had formed a wide acquaintance, and her home, which was a haven of rest, was always open to the innumerable friends who loved to congregate there and visit with her and enjoy her hospitality.
She had a kind word and a smile and welcome for all, and was ever giving of her strength and substance to others. She was a woman of the highest and noblest qualities, and one who did what she could to alleviate the sufferings and sorrows and pains of others. She was unselfish and sacrificing in her labors for her family and her friends, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her, and especially in the home by her two faithful daughters, who have cared for her with a loving and untiring devotion.
Those who knew her will hold her in tender and loving remembrance, and will extend their profound sympathy to the sorrowing daughters, Fannie and Della, and to the three sisters and one brother, Mrs. Jessie Wilson, Mrs. May Kerr, Mrs. Alice McCain and Frank Allison, all of St. Paul, Indiana, who survive her.
