Songs.
Polly Ann CHENEY was born in Andrew county, Missouri, April 24, 1843, and died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dan PAXTON, of Belvue, Kan., Sept. 2, 1922,
aged 79 years, 4 months and 8 days.
On March 19, 1863, she was united in marriage to John SONGS in Andrew county,
Mo. He preceded her in death Sept. 1, 1890. To this union six children were
born. Two of them are deceased; Maud and Duncan died in 1884. Margaret Ellen
TREZISE died in 1896. The surviving children are Mary JACKSON of Elmont, Kan.;
Elisha SONGS of Topeka, Kan., Josephine PAXTON, of Belvue, Kan., Loren SONGS of
Meeker, Colo.
The deceased was a member of the Baptist church, having made her profession of
faith and joined the curch when a young woman of about thirty years of age. She
always remained a member of the Baptist church and tried to live a faithful,
consistent Christian life. All who knew her are unanimous in declaring that if
ever there was a good woman who tried to live right and do right she was one of
them. No call for help or cry of distress went unanswered, day or nigh, if it
was within her power to reach it. She was one of the early settlers of Jackson
county, Kansas, having come with her young husband to the old home where they
lived for so many years in 1873. Besides the children named above she leaves
sixteen grandchildren and twenty great-grandchildren, many other relatives and a
host of friends to mourn her untimely departure. Funeral services were held at
the home of the daughter where she died on Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock and
again at the Mount Olive church at 1 o'clo!
 ck in the afternoon conducted by the pastor of the M.E. church, of Wamego,
Kan., the Rev. L. B. Pruitt, and burial was in the family lot beside her husband
in the Shields cemetery, near her old home. The funeral was largely attended by
old-time friends and acquaintances.
