The Holton Recorder,Jackson County,Thursday,March 16, 1922
Pottawatomi Mission item.

Mrs. Plowman Killed.
The Kansas City papers last Tuesday carried the distressing news that Mrs.
Vashie PLOWMAN, wife of Rev. Alonzo L. PLOWMAN, formerly missionary to the
Pottawatomies, had been killed late Monday evening, when the sedan in which Mr.
and Mrs. Plowman were riding was struck by a delivery truck. Both the Plowmans
were thrown from the car, Mrs. Plowman becoming pinned between the wreckage and
a tree. She was unconscious when extricated and carred to a nearby house, where
she died before medical aid could reach her. The funeral services were held from
their home and the Oakley Methodist Church, Kansas City, Mo., Thursday of last
week. Except for a scalp wound Mr. Plowman was uninjured. The Plowmans served at
the Mission church four and one-half years, leaving about three years ago. Mrs.
Plowman was a beautiful character and lived a life fully devoted to her Master.
Her untimely death has saddened the hearts of many folks on the reservation, who
wish to extend to the bereaved husband!
 and children their heartfelt sympathy.
Mrs. Plowman was widely known in Illinois, her former home. Prior to her
marriage to Mr. Plowman she had taught school in Douglas County. For five years
while her husband was a missionary among the Pottawatomie Indians Mrs. Plowman
took care of the sick among the Indians and was instrumental in saving the lives
of many. Prior to going to Kansas, the Plowmans were located at various times in
Murdock, Kan., Pawnee, Stonington, Decatur, and Petersburg, Ill. Mr. Plowman has
been pastor of the Beaumont Church in Kansas City, Kan., since last October,
prior to which we was located in Sugar Creek, Missouri.
