(5 Feb 1925, Thursday, Elk City News-Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Sadie Campbell Boomer was born June 20, 1870 in Jackson County, Iowa near
Fulton.  In 1873 she moved with her parents, four brothers and three
sisters to near Central City, Hamilton County, Nebraska.  Here she grew to
womanhood.  Was married to Grant O. Boomer on the 17th day of October in
1894 in Aurora, Nebr.  With her husband she went to Missouri where they
began their home making near Brookfield.  It was here that Hazel and
Willie were born.  In 1897 this little family moved to Nebraska and Albert
was born.  In 1899 they moved back to near Brookfield, Mo., and Carl was
born.  Leonard was born after they moved to Elk City, Okla., Dec. 20,
1910.  Here Mrs. Boomer has made her home until her untimely demise.  She
has been a faithful loving wife, a true understanding mother, and one who
loved her neighbors as her self.  Words fail to express the beauty of this
noble christian soul.  Hoping, praying, striving and by loving deeds and
kindness, she has held her boys and girl in the straight and narrow way
and been a comforter and sympathizer to her husband.  The children can
truly say "Mother" thou art gone but thy spirit and prayers hover near to
comfort and cheer us in our lonely hours.
Sadie, "our sister" meant all the family ties and memories of childhood
days to her brothers and it was with great sorrow her two brothers
realized they had arrived too late to see the beloved sister alive, but
she was ready for the summons of her Master "come unto me."
She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, her daughter, Hazel, four sons,
Willie, Albert, Carl, Leonard, her step-son Virgil, all of Elk City; three
brothers, Wm. T. Campbell, Hordville, Nebr., Chas. U. Campbell, Hordville,
Nebr., J. A. Campbell, Hordville, Nebr.  Three step-grandsons and a host
of other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the home Friday afternoon conducted by Rev.
R. B. Gettys, of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Elk City.  A
larger number of friends, neighbors and relatives were present.  Many
beautiful flowers covered the casket.  The body was laid to rest in
Fairlawn cemetery of Elk City.  The deepest sympathy is extended to the
bereaved ones.
