CALLIE REASOR PASSED AWAY
MRS. REASOR WAS ONE OF PIONEERS OF THIS VICINIITY - BE GREATLY MISSED
Died at the Home of Her Daughter at Bartlesville February 18 - Funeral Held Here Sunday
The news of the death of Mrs. Callie Reasor, which was flashed from Bartlesville, late Saturday afternoon was a great shock to our people, as it was thought it would not be long until she would be able to return to the comforts of the old home in Edna, which she had occupied and enjoyed for nearly forty years. But it was not to be, and we know not the mystery, for the veil that hides both the past and future is woven thick by a wise and merciful Providence. In the sudden passing of this good mother, friend and neighbor, we are confronted with the fact that the Giver of all good has affixed a limit to every man's earthly time. During the six long weeks, Aunt Callie, as she was familiarly known, revealed a patient submissive spirit, and the last few days of her life was spent at the home of a daughter and were happy ones, the fleeting moments being spent in a long anticipated visit with her children. In the hour of grief it is consoling to know that life's last days could be spent within the family circle and with loved ones at her bedside. The genial smile and friendly greeting of Aunt Callie will be missed, sadly missed, not only in and around the home in Edna but in the church and by the neighbors and friends with whom she had mingled these many years.
Caroline Goodwin was born on February 9th, 1859, in Spencer county, Kentucky and departed this life at Bartlesville, Okla. on February 18, 1928, aged sixty nine years and nine days. She came to Labette county, Kansas, with her parents, the late Lewis and Susan Goodwin in the year 1872 and with the exception of one year in California she has lived in and near Edna.
She was united in marriage to G. W. Reasor on June 9th, 1876 and to this union four children were born: Mrs. Julia Herrell of Bartlesville, Okla.; Mrs. Bertha G. Long who passed from this life July 14th, 1921, Clyde V. Reasor of Bartlesville, Okla. and Raymond F. Reasor of seminole, Okla.
She was converted at an early age and had been an active member of the Edna Baptist church all these years.
Her husband departed this life at the age of sixty-one years at the family home in this city on November 13, 1913.
The funeral took place from the Edna Baptist church at 2:30 o'clock Sunday and was largely attended, the church being crowded to capacity and many were compelled to remain outside during the services. The floral offerings were many and very beautiful. Rev. W. E. Taylor preached the funeral sermon, taking his text from Prov. 31:10-31. He spoke feelingly of the noble character of the deceased and recounted briefly many kind favors she had extended to his family during his pastorate at Edna. He dwelt upon her goodness of heart and charitable instincts, a good example for others to follow.
"The dear Lord's best interpreters
Are humble human souls;
The gospel of a life like hers,
Is more than books or scrolls."
