MITCHELL, MAY
(7 Nov 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
MRS. MAY JOHNSON MITCHELL
The following resolutions were published in the Butler Herald by the Order
of the Eastern Star of that place, in memory of Mrs. C. E. Mitchell,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. T. E. Johnson of Elk City, who died October 14th,
1918:
RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, Supreme Worthy Patron of the
Universe, to remove from our midst our beloved Sister May Johnson
Mitchell.
And whereas, our hearts are sad because of the loss of our Sister, and her
going has left a void that can never be filled, yet we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by Butler Chapter No. 261 Order of the
Eastern Star, of which Sister Mitchell was a true and faithful member,
that we tender our heartfelt sympathy and condolence to her husband,
father, mother, brothers and sister in this dark hour of affliction, but
point them to the bright assurance that as a true and faithful Star, our
sister has gone to the reward of a short but well spent life.  That in the
loss of Sister Mitchell, Butler Chapter has lost a true and devoted
member, the husband a loving and faithful wife and the parents a kind and
dutiful child.
Resolved further, that these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the
Chapter and a copy be furnished the husband and parents and a copy be
published in the Butler Herald.
E. A. Olmstead,
S. D. Grandstaff,
Mrs. Ida Grandstaff, Committee.
