Obituary of Mehittabel (Andrews) Myrick

The Peoples Herald, Lyndon, Osage County, Kansas; Thursday, 30 JAN 1913, page 1 (Newspapers.com):

MRS. MEHITTABEL MYRICK

Mrs. Mehittabel Myrick was born in Vinton county, Ohio, March 30, 1841 and died at 7:35 p.m. Monday, January 20, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Ina Felch, North Lyndon, aged 71 years, 9 months and 20 days. Death was caused by cerebral hemorrhage, producing partial paralysis, and attendant complications. She was one of a family of nine children born to Mr. and Mrs. Eben E. Andrews and grew to womanhood in the county where she was born and where, when she was scarcely nineteen, she was united in marriage to Monroe Myrick on Feb. 2, 1860. By this union she became the gracious and sacrificing mother of six sons and six daughters, one of the former dying in infancy, the other eleven still survive her to mourn her loss.

Shortly after marriage, she with her husband and family moved to Polk county, Iowa, where they remained six years when they moved to Kansas in 1868, locating on a farm east of Lyndon, forty-four years ago, thus it it (sic) shown that Mrs. Myrick has been one of the sacrificing pioneer mothers whose industry, example and interest has made this section the desirable place in which we now live, blessed with schools, churches and a progressive civilization.

In her mature years, she was brought to a knowledge of the saving grave of a risen Savior and united with the Christian sect, retaining her membership therein till her death. She was a good neighbor, a true friend, a faithful wife and a helpful and indulgent mother. Her life’s companion preceded her to the World Beyond by nearly twelve years, passing away May 20, 1901.

Short services were held at the home of Mrs. Ina Felch on Wednesday morning, after which the body was taken to her old homestead where more formal and fitting observance in honor of the loved dead were conducted by Rev. F. E. Haughey of the Christian church. She was laid to rest in the Deaver Cemetery by the side of that of her husband, to the plighted vows with whom she had ever been true and faithful.

Those ministering to her needs and comfort during her last illness and present at the obsequies were Harvey Myrick of Springdale, Ark.; Mrs. Mattie Goff of Cody, Wyoming; Vinton Myrick of Oakland; Mrs. H. S. Seyler of Lyndon; Chas. Myrick of Topeka; Albert Myrick of Tecumseh; Mrs. Gertie Bristow of Scranton; Clevelan Myrick of Lyndon and Mrs. Ina Felch of Lyndon. Those absent and unable to be present were the daughters, Mrs. Arvilla Morris of Whittier, Calif., and Mrs. Artie Hufford of Columbus, Montana. There also are four brothers and one sister who sorrow with those who lament her going. M. B. Andrews of Big Heart, Okla., was present at the obsequies.

The bereaved family have the sympathy of the whole community in the loss they have sustained.
