CALLED IN DEATH
It is with deepest regret that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Katherine Knowles 
Sims, wife of Dr. W. B. Sims of this city, who passed from this life at 8:30 
Sunday evening after an illness covering a period of more than 21 months, 
during which she was a great sufferer from a complication of troubles.  Besides 
the bereaved husband, she leaves to mourn her death a sister, Maud Thomas, of 
Fairland, Oklahoma; a brother, W. E. Knowles, of Sarcoxie, Mo., and another 
brother, L. A. Knowles, of Dennison, Texas.
Funeral services were held  at the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2 
o’clock and the friends who had known her so well in life, including a 
delegation of Pythian Sisters of which order she was a past chief, from Weiser, 
were gathered to pay their last respect.  Rev. Hall preached a most eloquent 
and touching sermon and paid a beautiful tribute to the noble character of her 
whose spirit had taken its flight.  Interment took place in Riverside cemetery.
Mrs. Sims was one of those rare creatures whose very presence brought sunshine 
into the lives of those with whom she came in contact.  Of a most kindly and 
lovable disposition, she was always most considerate of the feelings of others 
and to know her was to admire her culture and refinement and adore her noble 
womanly character.
To Doctor Sims the hearts of all go out in sympathy and compassion.  Only the 
companion he lost and the God who gave her to him could know of the months of 
almost day and night vigil.  Her suffering was great, but the devotion shown by 
her husband was an example worthy of the best of us.  Her dying statement that 
he had done all for her that could have been done was an expression of 
gratitude which he can justly cherish as long as life lasts.
