CAPPS, MARY E.
(8 Sep 1927, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mary E. Capps.  Born October 16, 1854, died Sept. 1, 1927, at her home 14
miles south of Elk City.  Funeral services were held at Poarch Church
Friday, September 2.  Interment at Poarch Cemetery.  Gentry-Killough in
charge.
(18 Sep 1927,  The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Mary E. Wyneger was born in Barren Co., Ky., October 16, 1854.  Died Sept.
1, 1927.  She was married to J. M. Capps Dec. 17, 1873.  To this happy
union seven children, six daughters and one son were born, all of which
are living.  All were present except one daughter.
Sister Capps had been an invalid for over 20 years.  She had been confined
to her bed for almost 27 months.  Through it all she bore it patiently
often saying she was willing to suffer if by so doing the Lord could use
it for His glory.  She comforted herself with the words "all things work
together for good to them that love the Lord."  In the language of Paul,
"She hath done what she could" and "she being dead yet speaketh."  Sister
Capps was converted in early life and joined the Methodist Church.  Later
in life she was sanctified holy and united with the Free Methodist at Zion
Chapel and of which she remained a faithful member and a true christian
until her death.
She leaves her husband and all of her children and a host of friends to
mourn their loss.  Our loss is heaven's gain.
