Mary HAWLEY was born in Logan Hocking county, Ohio, August 7, 1840. At an early age she was converted and united with the Methodist church and continued a faithful member in early life teaching a Sabbath school class in the Sunday school. She was married to W.H. OAKS, December 11, 1859. She with her husband came to Holton in 1868, which was her home continously until after her husband's death. About 9 years ago, on account of her eyesight being totally blind, she went to the Mother Bickerdyke Hospital, Ellsworth, Kan., and was cared for until August when she was taken to Ft. Dodge, where she passed away January 26, 1923, at the age of 82 years, 7 months and 19 days. Auntie Oaks, as she was familiarly called, had no children of her own, but was a mother to one whom they educated and reared to womanhood, now Mrs. Gordon MILLER of Sapulpa, Okla. Mrs. Oaks had but one sister, Mrs. MAYNARD who preceded her in death some 14 years ago, leaving her two nieces the only relatives who survive her. ==== KS-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ==== File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ks/jackson/obits/o/oaks1095gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ksfiles/ File size: 1.7 Kb
