118 | Beloved Woman Passes Away Sunday Morning. Heavy gloom spread over the community Sunday morning when it was learned that death had claimed one of this section’s most beloved women, Mrs. E.T. [E.P.] Woodson, who for many years was a loyal supporter of the home, the church and her friends. Mrs. Woodson died Sunday morning at the Comanche Hospital after having fought heroically for several days to hold on to life following a serious operation which had been performed as a last effort to save an expiring life. The deceased was 54 years of age and a pioneer resident of Stephens county. She is survived by her husband E.T.[E.P.] Woodson, two sons, Delbert and Harold, and one daughter, Mrs. R.E. Wells. It will be remembered that Harold attracted national attention as a member of the Oklahoma 4-H Club judging team which won the world’s championship in the judging contest held in England a little more than a year ago. Perhaps there has never been a woman whose motherhood reigned more supreme than that of Mrs. Woodson’s, as she was untiring in her efforts in administering to the members of her home circle and was unfailing in her loyalty to friends and other loved ones. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 in the First Methodist church with Rev. M.F. Bell officiating. May beautiful floral pieces bore fragrant testimony to the nigh esteem in which this beloved woman was held speaking to her loved ones the sympathy that the saddened friends could not speak. Interment was made at Fairlawn cemetery. The Comanche Reflex, Comanche, Oklahoma. Thursday, 11 September 1930, apge 12. | Gritton, Rosa Bell (I2639)

Obituary (Contributed) Benjamin F. Cline, son of Nathaniel and Cynthia Cline, was born in Blount township,, Jan. 24, 1849. His father, Nathaniel Cline, was a fifer in the 125th Ill., Vol. Inf. Young Benjamin tried three times to get away and join his father's regiment but being the main dependence of his mother, she three times brought him back. On the farm young Benjamin grew to manhood. The loss of his father in the civil war threw upon him the responsibility of assisting his mother to provide for a family of small children and this responsibility he faithfully performed, working very hard clearing up the round for the surrounding farmers. The weather was never so hot or so cold but what his ax awakened the echoes of the surrounding forest. He was known in his community as an honest, upright, persevering boy. At about the age of 18 years he united with the Christian church under the ministry of "Uncle Jimmy" Conners, a pioneer preacher of this county. The Bible became from that day on and was until the time of his death, his rule of action. His chief delight was reading and nature. He delighted in the song of the birds and forest wild flowers. About his humble home were found in summer big beds of flowers, cared for tenderly. About the age of 21, he married Miss Samantha Washburne of Waynetown, Indiana. To this union one child was born, Miss Alice who with her mother still survives him. His life was a benediction to those who know him best. Three sisters and two brothers survive him also. His aged mother died just one year ago to the day of his death. Newspaper clipping from Cora (Gritton) Hedges. No publishing information available. | Cline, Benjamin Franklin (I48)

125 | Biographies of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties, Missouri. Ramfre Press, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, 1958. page 825-826 - Franklin County Judge William P Springgate, farmer, was born in Mercer County, Ky., in 1816, and is the son of William Springgate, a native of the same county, who removed to St. Louis County, Mo., in 1822, and from there to Greene County, Ill., in 1887, where he died in 1868. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and a farmer and wagon-maker by occupation. The mother's maiden name was Gritten; her father was a Revolutionary soldier, and immigrated from Virginia to Kentucky soon after the War for Independence. He and his wife walked the distance on foot, and carried all their possessions on their backs. They were among the early settlers, and he was a familiar companion to the celebrated Daniel Boone, and lived to the ripe old age of one hundred and fourteen years. William P. lost his mother when about two years old, and remained with his father until grown, receiving but a limited common-school education, which he walked a distance of three miles to obtain. He was married, in St. Louis County, Mo., in 1838, to Miss Ann, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Sullins. To this union were born three children, two now living: Amanda, wife of Richard Zumwalt, of Osage County, and Marcelus. Mr. Springgate lost his wife in 1854, and two years later he married Miss Sarah, sister of his first wife. Five children were the result of this marriage, four now living, viz.: William, Ferdinand, Sterling and Virginia. In 1844, previous to the death of his first wife, our subject removed to Franklin County, and located twelve miles southeast of New Haven. In t864 he came to New Haven, and has since made that city his home. He was made farming his chief occupation, and in it has been successful. In 1854 he was elected county judge and re-elected in 1858. In 1862 he declined a renomination, but in 1866 was elected to the same and served one tern, and was afterward appointed to fill an unexpired term, making nearly sixteen years' service in all. He has since served as marshal of the city of New Haven, for four years. He was reared a Whig, and his first presidential vote was for Gen. Harrison, in 1840. but some time prior to the war identified himself permanently with the Democratic party. He is a prominent church member, and his wife belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Mr. Springgate's father settled in St. Louis County when the city of St. Louis was a mere French hamlet, and he distinctly remembers when there was but one brick building in the place, and that but one story, and an inferior affair altogether. Comparatively few men have lived as long in the State as has Mr. Springgate, he having been an inhabitant of the State since he was about six years old, or for about sixty-five years. https://archive.org/details/historyoffrankli00cape | Gritton, Dorcas (I986)

Her funeral was preached by Rev. Dodson. He preached a very touching sermon and spoke words of sympathy to her family and friends. Now the trials of life are past, I am safely home at last: Now my journey is complete, I am signing music sweet. Oh, those angels, how they sing Praise to their Heavenly King, And catch the sweetest song, Now dear children, I'm at home. She leaves a husband an five children to mourn her loss.
