PLEMMENS, SYNTHA LUMINA
(6 Jan 1916, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
IN MEMORIAM
Syntha Lumima (sic) Axley was born and raised in Monroe county, East
Tennessee and was there married to W. A. Plemmons, February 22, 1860,
where she lived until 1876, then moved to Texas with a family of six
children, three boys and three girls.  Then they moved to Chickasaw Indian
Territory and then to the western part of Custer county and six years ago
to Elk City, where she died at her home, December 29th, 1915, at 3 A.M.,
at the age of 72 years, 10 months and 29 days, leaving a husband, six
children and seventeen grand children to mourn her loss.  All were
present:  Mrs. Maranda Roach, who made her home with her parents and her
daughter, Mrs. Jimmie Van Alstine; Mr. Robert Plemmons of Elk City; Mr.
Willie Plemmons, wife, son and daughter of Stafford, Okla.; Mrs. Addie
Adkins, husband, and two daughters of Marlow, Okla.; Mr. Joe Plemmons and
wife of Duncan, Okla.; Mrs. Josie Burke and husband of Elk City and Mr.
Frank Leeper who has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Burke for seventeen
years.
She became a member of the M. E. Church South at the age of twelve years
and had been a faithful member ever since.  Her father was a presiding
elder for a number of years of Monroe, Tennessee.  She has been a dear
wife and loving mother through these many years.  She has never known
death in her family, as she was the first to be called to God from her
family circle.  We mourn her loss but it was God's wish that she be taken
from us to her place in Heaven, where she will join her granddaughter,
Bessie, who was called a short time past, and other grand-children, and
friends that have gone before.
We cannot call her back, but we can live life so that we can meet her when
God calls us to our home above.  It is sad to see her vacant chair and
hear no words of comfort from her but we are left with the fond
recollection of knowing that Savior and died that sweet death that brought
peace and comfort to her.
She was laid to rest in the Elk City Cemetery December 30, 1915.  Funeral
services were held at the M. E. Church South on Thursday, December 30,
Rev. J. J. Shaw officiating.
