- Angeline Howell was born December 11, 1837 in Linn county, Missouri, and departed this life November 5, 1926, aged 88 years, 10 months and 25 days. She was the daughter of William and Frances Howell, one of the pioneer families of Linn county, who came from Kentucky about 1834. Mr. Howell was Linn county’s first assessor.
Angeline Howell was united in marriage to Willis Sallee December 13, 1854. He passed away January 11, 1911. To this union were born 11 children, 8 boys and 3 girls. The youngest daughter, Mrs. Lillie Jessee, died at the age of 24.
Mrs. Sallee obeyed the gospel at about the age of 50 and identified herself with the church of Christ of which she was a faithful member until her death, being in His service 48 years. She had read her Bible through many times and was a regular attendant at church until the last years.
The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon, November 7, 1926, at the Parson Creek church, and the services were conducted by Elder W. E. Ballenger, of Kansas City. Burial was under the direction of Smiley Brothers, of Wheeling, in the presence of many friends and relatives.
The grandsons acted as pallbearers.
She is survived by ten children, namely: Mrs. Catherine Sharp, Kansas City, Missouri; Edward Sallee, Raymond, Kansas; John Sallee, of Sweeny, Texas; Luther and Ben, of Meadville, Missouri; Sanford Sallee, of Tonganoxie, Kansas; Ellen Buckman, of Linneus, Missouri; Charley Sallee, of Mutual, Kansa; W.R. Sallee, of Wheeling, Missouri, and Evan Sallee, of Greenwood, Missouri; she also leaves one sister, Mrs. Wesley Neal, of Melvern, Kansas.
Weep not that her toils are over,
Weep not that her race is run:
Good grant we may rest as calmly,
When our work, like hers, is don.
Till then we yield, with gladness,
Our mother to Him, to keep;
And rejoice in the sweet assurance:
“He giveth His loved ones sleep.”
