Daily Enterprise Times. Friday. 8 May 1903
[4] - Rev. Oglevee, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city, now in charge of a pastorate at Stroud, O.T. arrived in the city this morning in answer to a telephone message from Mr. Isaac Shields, informing him of the death of his wife and a wish that he take charge of the funeral services. Mr. and Mrs. Shields were earnest members of Rev. Oglevee’s church during his pastorate of over six years in this city, and the christian love existing between pastor and member only grew stronger as the years passed by, and no wonder that the last request of this saintly woman should be that her old pastor come to comfort her loved ones as her spirit, freed from earthly fetters, winged its way through space to the Father’s house where all was in waiting for the redeemed soul.

[4] - Obituary.
Margaret McCullom was born in County Antrim, Ireland, on April 4, 1836. She was married to Isaac Shields September 17, 1857. They came to America in 1860, and located in Baltimore, Md. From Baltimore, they moved to Iowa. They came to Oklahoma seven years ago and located near Perry. She peacefully passed out of the present on Saturday May 9, 1903. She leaves her beloved husband, five daughters and two sons and twenty-seven grand children to mourn her loss. All the children and fifteen of her grand children were present at the last.
Mrs. Shields united with the Presbyterian church at the age of eighteen. Her life was spent in the service of her Master. She was a faithful and consistent member of the Presbyterian church to the end. Her life stands as a grand testimony for rightousness. Twenty-two years ago her husband was afflicted with partial paralysis, and for two years she had to feed him with a spoon and all these years she has faithfully ministered unto his wants. She is now at rest with her Lord; we are sometimes in doubt whether or not our friends have made a good exchange of worlds, but in Margaret Shields there is no room for doubt.
The funeral services on Monday were conducted by Rev. J.A. B. Oglevee who had been her pastor for six years at Perry.
A large number of sympathizing friends attended these last sad rites.
