PICKLESIMER, MOTAH M.
(28 May 1914, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Notah M. Picklesimon died at the residence of Douglas Guthrie in Elk
City, Saturday, May 23.  Deceased leaves a husband, one son and one
daughter, together with a number of other relatives and friends to mourn
her loss.  The remains were taken to Hammon for burial.  (Red Hill
Cemetery, Roger Mills County.)
OBITUARY.
At the home of Mrs. J. D. Guthrie, Saturday, May 23rd at 3:30 a.m., Mrs.
Dolph Picklesimon aged 35 years, 1 month and 11 days, passed to her reward
after a lingering illness of ten weeks.  An operation was performed on
Mrs. Picklesimon four weeks ago in which serious complications set in
which caused her death.
Moadie M. Armstrong, nee Picklesimon, was born April 24th, 1879 in Stevens
county, Texas.  She was married to Dolph Picklesimon sixteen years ago and
to this union two children were born, Tommy, age 11 years and Monte Joe,
age 9 years.  Mrs. Picklesimon was a Methodist by faith having united with
the church at the age of 14 years and lived and died a christian woman. 
Her last message on earth was to tell her father that she died a
christian.  She kissed her husband, children, brother and aged father
goodbye and bid them to live so as to meet her in heaven and asked her
husband never to drink any more or speak bad language before her children.
 She prayed to live to see all the relatives and God answered her and
allowed her to bid them all goodbye except a brother and sister who did
not get here until too late.  She pleaded all day and night for that
brother.  At one o'clock on Friday, Mrs. Picklesimon saw a heavenly vision
in which she saw her dear angel mother who has been dead since she was a
little girl.
Drs. White and Levi stayed with her until the very last and did all that
could be done for her on this earth.  After talking to them all she went
to sleep and apparently rested until death came.
She was laid to rest in the Hammon (Red Hill) cemetery.  The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Carron.
Mrs. Pick as she was called by her friends was loved and respected by
every body and we know that she has gone to rest in that "pretty place"
that she saw over there.  May we all be prepared to meet her in that place
and our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the bereaved family, aged
father, brothers and sisters and may God bless each and every one of them
and may God strengthen them and prepare them to meet her in that "pretty
place."
Mrs. D. Y. Stearns.
Mrs. J. D. Guthrie.
Mrs. G. A. Johnson.
Mrs. W. M. Curry.
