Notes - 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.
