GILLESPIE, MARGARET ADELINE
(29 Apr 1926, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Margaret Adeline Bowyer was born May 6, 1842, near Solon, Ind., was
married to Robert Gillespie December 13, 1893.  Mr. Gillespie died
September 20, 1917.  After he husband's death she came home with her
brother, J. E. Boyer (sic) and wife and made her home with them until the
time of her death, April 20, 1926.
She became a christian at the age of 16 years and remained faithful to the
end.  What more could be said, she could say, like Paul - "I have kept the
faith, and henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness.
Mrs. Gillespie will be missed in the home by her brother, Mr. Bowyer, who
was devoted to her and by Mrs. Bowyer who ministered so kindly to her all
these years.  Mrs. Gillespie was so grateful to Dr. Coulson and Mrs.
McClain and everyone who assisted in anyway to make her comfortable in her
late illness.
May we, like her, keep the faith and look to "Him" who doeth all things
well, for comfort and solace when the death angel hovers near.  Mrs. G. E.
Pinkerton.
Card of Thanks

who so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of our sister, Mrs.
Bowyer (sic).  May God bless each of you.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Bowyer,
J. G. Hosttler and family.
