Rosa Ethel Meeker

The Paonian
February 4, 1937

Mrs. Thomas Meeker Buried Here Tuesday

Illness of long standing which developed serious aspects less than three 
weeks ago resulted in the death, Sunday, Jan. 31, of Mrs. Thomas O. Meeker 
at her home of the ranch of Mrs. C. G. Stout, west of Paonia.

Funeral service was conducted by the Rev. E. E. Scates in the Christian 
church Tuesday afternoon.  Music was provided by Mrs. Bessie Crosby, 
Mrs. Carl McIlravy, A. B. Ullrey, and D. Eikenberry, with Mrs. C. K. Wilson 
as instrumental accompanist.  Pallbearers were James Schlangen, C. K. Wilson, 
William Huyser, John Faulk, Byron Willis and Guy S. Nelson.  Interment was 
in Cedar Hill cemetery, directed by the Tripp Funeral Service.

Rosa Ethel Crabtree was born Feb. 7, 1878 in Kirksville, Mo.  At the early 
age of 14 years [Aug. 14, 1892] she married Thomas O. Meeker of that city 
which continued to be their home until 1935, when they came to Paonia.  Of 
the five children born to them four preceded the mother to the life beyond, 
the remaining son being Aubrey Meeker of Delta.*  She united with the Christian 
church at Queen City, Mo., at the age of 13 years.

Besides her husband she leaves five brothers and three sisters-Orville, Homer, 
Nova, and A. Crabtree and Mrs. Martha Humphrey, all of Paonia; Oren Crabtree 
of Wisconsin; Mrs. Belle Thrasher of Missouri, and Mrs. Myrtle Ammerman of 
Los Angeles, Calif.

Additional Comments:

I believe this was in error Lee Meeker was also alive at the time of Rose's death.
