CREASON, IDA
(3 Jul 1930, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Funeral services for Mrs. Ida Klopfenstein Creason, wife of O. H. Creason,
65, a resident of Roger Mills county for more than a quarter of a century
and a resident of Elk City for four years, were held Monday afternoon at
the Broadway Methodist Episcopal church, with Rev. Webb officiating in the
final ceremony.
Mrs. Creason died at 8:30 o'clock Sunday evening following a major
operation which she underwent five days previous to her death.
Mr. and Mrs. Creason moved to Elk City four years ago.  They had
previously lived on their homestead four miles west of Berlin since 1899
when they homesteaded.
Mrs. Creason was born in Fairfield, Iowa, April 26, 1865.  She was a
member of the Methodist church for 41 years, being active in church work
until her health failed.  She was married to O. H. Creason, January 3,
1884, and moved soon afterward to Purcell, later settling near Berlin.
Immediate members of the family surviving Mrs. Creason are her husband and
six children, four daughters and two sons.  They are:  Mrs. John Riggs, of
Sayre; Mrs. Dulcie Bates, Mrs. George Givins, and Miss Vivian Creason of
this city and Luther Creason of Sasakwa, and Paul Creason of Elk City.
Burial was made in the Berlin cemetery with Killough-Hullum, funeral
directors in charge.  Relatives who attended the funeral are:  a sister,
Mrs. L. C. Walker of Sedan, Kansas; a brother, Willie Klopfenstein of
Berlin; and a niece, Mrs. Earl Allsup of Oklahoma City.
Mrs. Creason was a familiar person with Cheyenne folks having been coming
to Cheyenne twice each week with her husband in the service of the Harry
Hunter Laundry of Elk City.  Her passing will be regretted by Cheyenne
friends.
Mrs. Creason was one of the active ones in keeping alive the Old Settlers
organization of the Berlin community and was quite enthusiastic in
arranging for the last celebration, June 5, 1930.
