On February 24, 1873 she was united in Marriage to LeGrand Marshall at Mt.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother and a brother Joe who 
died at the age of four years and a sister Rette who died at the age of 18 
years.

In July 1889 Mr. and Mrs. Marshall moved to Kingfisher from western Kansas,

In early childhood sister Marshall united with the Methodist Church and has
always been a faithful member of said Church, was a Charter Member of the

passing the last Charter Member has gone to receive her reward and hear the
sweet words "Well done".

In early life sister Marshall was a successful school teacher for a number 
of years, was a life member of the Eastern Star.  She leaves to mourn her 
loss, her husband, 8 children and 16 grandchildren.

had charge of the services.

               "The lights are out
                    In the Mansion of clay
               The curtains are drawn
                    For the dweller's away;
               She silently slipped
                    O'er the threshold by night,
               To make her abode
                    In the City of light."

               PIONEER WOMAN CROSSES TO THE OTHER SIDE

Again the editor the the Republican is called upon to write of the passing 
of a pioneer in our community.  These calls are coming all too fast of recent
months.  In the passing of Mrs. Marshall, one of the women who had much to do
with the building of our community has gone to her reward.  Pioneer of two
states, charter member of two pioneer churches, active in every move for the
many things needed for the advancement of a new community.  It is hard for
those who have only known her during the years of her invalided condition to
fully realize the scope of her useful and busy life during early days in
Watonga.  Those few of us who are still here, those who were so closely
associated with her in those days can appreciate how firmly a woman with her
wonderful character and personality can leave her impression upon the
community.  It is with heartfelt sorrow that we record the death of Mrs.
Marshall.  Her going breaks another link in the golden chain of early day
friendship.  What a crowd of these friends are gathered over there, what
rejoicing there must be when another pioneer joins them.  We are glad that the business houses of the town honoring her memory by closing during the 
last rites.  The Eastern Star had honored her the past week by presenting her 
with a life certificate of membership, which at request, was placed in her 
casket.

We are glad that Rev. Grant told so fittingly of her willingness to go and of
her long and useful life.  It seemed not like death for Mrs. Marshall to be
lying there among the beautiful flowers, among friends gathered about.  She
seemed to be only resting.

OBIT, ADAMS, Carrie Lincoln,

CARRIE ADAMS

PROMINENT CADIZ WOMAN DIED IN ILLINOIS

No death of recent years has caused greater 
sorrow in the Cadiz community than that of 
Carrie Lincoln Adams, who died at Mansfield, 
Ill, Monday Dec. 6th.

She was the daughter of Wm. Blair and Mary 
Nichols Adams, born at Cadiz, February, 1868, 
a twin sister to Anna Adams Richey.

Miss Adams left Cadiz Oct. 11, for Moro, Ore., 
where she expected to spend the winter with her 
sister, Mrs. Albert Wright. Enroute, she 
stopped at Mansfield, Ill, for a short visit 
with another sister, Mrs. Lewis Cope.  

She was immediately overtaken by that dreaded 
disease, cancer, and after an illness of seven 
weeks, Carrie had decided to enter the hospital 
and while in preparation she became so weakened 
that ore loved ones could reach her, Carrie 
Adams had "Crossed the Bar."

She had been a member of the Cadiz M.E. church 
since 1886, joining with her twin sister, Anna, 
and a number of school girl friends under the 
ministry of Dr. Geo. Smith. 

As the daughter of a veteran, she was a member 
of the Elizabeth Custer Tent.

Her devotion to her twin sister Anna was without 
parallel.  After the later was claimed in death 
some years ago, Carrie was equally devoted to a 
mother who was then facing the sunset of life.  
All of these events came into her life as labors 
of love.

Aside from her parents, four sisters, Nettie, 
Ella, Rhetta - Mrs. W.H. Havnar, and Anna - Mrs. 
W.D. Richey, and two brothers, Frank Adams and 
George Adams preceded her in death.

Three sisters, Jessie - Mrs. Albert Wright, Moro, 
Oregon: Martha - Mrs. Lewis Cope, Mansfield, Ill; 
and Katharine - Mrs. W. Casterlane, Aransas Pass, 
Texas; and one brother Ernest L. Adams, Cadiz, are 
bereaved by her death.

The remains, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Cope, 
were brought to the Cadiz home of her brother, 
Ernest Adams, Thursday morning. Funeral services 
conducted by Rev. Virgil Turner, assisted by
Rev. Lippencott, were held at the M.E. church, 
Thursday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, attended by 
hundreds of relatives and friends.

Following the eulogy, Mrs. M.M. Kinsey, of 
Stuebensville, sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought."

The many floral tributes and the large gathering 
of friends were attests to the esteem in which 
Carrie was held, but these pale into significance 
when as friends were taking there their last look 
at her, an aged cousin, who has never been known 
to speak, stopped amidst the passing throng to 
imprint a kiss upon the cheek of the one who in 
life had been his best and dearest friend.

Two nephews, Claire Havnar, of Charleston, W. Va., 
Ray Copeland, of Cadiz, and four friends, Clark 
Finnical, Cadiz, Ross Finnical, Cadiz, Harry 
Freeburn, Cadiz, and Beatty Chaney, Cadiz, acted 
as pallbearers.  Interment in Cadiz cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Cope, Mansfield, Ill; Claire 
Havnar, Charleston, W.Va; Lewis Henderson, 
Martins Ferry; Ernest Adams, Laceyville; J.C. 
Nichols, Nottingham; Mrs. M.M. Kinsey, 
Stuebensville; Mrs. Ross Myers, Stuebensville, 
Miss Martha Adams, Stuebensville; Thos. Adams 
and Balley Adams Stock-tp, were among the 
out-of-town people who attended her funeral.

--------------

At the funeral services of Carrie Adams, 
"Crossing the Bar" was read by Rev. Virgil 
Turner, then he read the following:

Carrie L. Adams, daughter of Wm. B. and 
Mary Nichols Adams was born at Cadiz , Ohio, 
1868, a twin sister to Annie Adams Richey,
who preceded her in death some years ago, 
died at the home of her sister Mrs. Lewis 
Cope, at Mansfield, Illinois, Monday, December
6, 1926, aged 58 years, and 10 months.

During October, Carrie left her Cadiz home 
relatives and friends for Moro, Oregon, where 
she expected to spend the coming year with a 
sister Mrs. Albert Wright, who, owing to 
illness had asked for Carrie's presence and 
care.

Enroute to the far west she stopped for a 
short visit at the Illinois home of her 
sister, expecting to reach Oregon November 1.  
While there she was overtaken with severe 
illness attending the dreaded disease of 
cancer and after the duration of seven weeks 
she passed to the Great Beyond.

Following the death of her twin sister, 
Annie, unto whom her devotion was without 
parallel, she gave her time and care to a
loving mother and it can be truly said that 
unto Carrie Adams all of these things became 
"a Labor of Love." 

With her sister, Annie, and many girl 
friends she united with the Cadiz Methodist 
Episcopal Church under the pastorate of Dr. 
Geo. B. Smith, in 1886, and was ever true to 
her church vows.

Carrie Adams was a member of Elisabeth Custer 
Tent, Daughter of Veterans and closely allied 
with all social events of the old neighborhood 
where she was born, played, lived and helped 
to make better and brighter by her presence.

During her last illness when life was ebbing 
slowly away, "patience had its perfect work."  
Never a murmur escaped her lips and she ever 
took comfort and refuge in her favorite verse 
of Scripture.

Aside from her parents, two sisters, Rhetta 
Havnar, and Annie Richey, with two brothers, 
George and Frank, preceded her to death.

Bereaved by her passing three sisters, Jessie, 
Mrs. Albert Wright, Martha, Mrs. Lewis Cope, 
Mansfield, Ill., Katherine, Mrs. Casterline, 
Aransas Pass, Tex., and one brother Ernest 
Adams, Cadiz.

----------------

Word was received by Cadiz relatives on Monday 
of the death of Miss Carrie Adams, at the home 
of her sister, Mrs. L.J. Cope, of Mansfield, 
Ill, where she had gone for a visit on October 
5, intending to go on later to visit her 
sister, Mrs. A.M. Wright, at Moro, Oregon.  
She was born at Cadiz, her parents being 
William B. And Mary Nichols Adams, and except 
when visiting her sisters in the west had 
lived her entire life at this place. Her twin 
sister, Mrs. Anna Richey, died nine years ago.  
She was a member of the Cadiz M.E. Church.  She 
is survived by one brother, Ernest L. Adams of 
Cadiz, and by three sisters, Mrs. Wright, Mrs.
Cope and Mrs. Casterlaine of Arenas Pas, Texas.

Funeral services will be held from the Cadiz 
M.E. Church this (Thursday) afternoon.
