SIGLIN, ELIZABETH
(11 Apr 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
After a prolonged illness and much suffering, Mrs. L. F. Siglin passed to
her heavenly reward last Saturday night at 11:45.  Although her recovery
for the last several days was considered very doubtful, yet our citizens
were startled when the news of her death was announced.
Elizabeth Mutchler was born April 12th, 1886, in Lincoln, Ill., died April
6th, 1918, in Elk City, Okla.  Her parents, Jacob and Martha Mutchler,
moved to Oklahoma in 1901.  She was married to L. F. Siglin January 25th,
1905 in Cheyenne, Okla.  To this union were born two children, Hazel and
Margarette.  Mrs. Siglin was converted and united with the Presbyterian
church several years ago.  She was a devoted wife and mother.  Hers was an
unselfish spirit.  She delighted to give help and joy and comfort to
others.  She had been ill for about two years, and a great sufferer.  All
that medical skill and loving hearts and hands could do to keep her here
proved vain.
She leaves to mourn her departure from this life, a faithful and loving
husband, two sweet little girls, Hazel, eleven years old, and Margarette,
ten.  One sister, Mrs. Kate Sandel, Noble, Okla.; Five brothers, John
Mutchler, Elk City; Adam Mutchler, Missouri; George Mutchler, Kimberly,
Idaho; and Will Mutchler, Elk City, and an aged father and mother, who
reside on a farm near Elk City.
The funeral services were held Sunday 4:15 p.m., at the First Methodist
Episcopal Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. E. R. Pouck.
The church was taxed to its utmost capacity, many people being unable to
get inside.  The large concourse of people and the beautiful floral
offerings were very substantial testimony to the high regard in which Mr.
and Mrs. Siglin are held.
The remains were laid to rest in Fairlawn cemetery, a large company
following the casket to the tomb.
