highly respected.
(7 Apr 1927, Sayre Journal, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
MRS. MARTHEA SCHROEDER
Mrs. Maretha (sic) Schroeder was born April 22, 1869, in Caldwell County,
Missouri.  She was married to George Schroeder in 1899 February 14.  They
homesteaded in Oklahoma in fall of 1901.  Two girls preceeded her, one in
infancy, and one at age of 3 yr., 6 mo.  Dow, age 20 years, is the only
living child.
Mrs. Schroeder became a member of the church of Christ when young and has
lived a true and pure Christian life.  She was an excellent wife and
mother and always was willing to help and sacrifice for others.  She had
gained many friends by living a life that was uplifting to every one.
She will be missed by her many friends and the church of Christ at Grimes
to which she had helped so spiritually and willingly to build and teach
the way of Christ to others.
We sympathize with the bereaved husband and son, but know that if we
follow the example of the pure Christian life that sister Schroeder lived,
then we will have no fear to meet death.
The floral offering was very pretty.  Her many friends helped and worked
so faithfully during her illness.  Mrs. Schroeder at first has erysipelas,
but after her recovery and return from the Elk Hospital other
complications set up and it was too late for medical aid.  Mrs. Schroeder
leaves to mourn her loss, beside a husband and son, five sisters and other
relatives.  Two sisters were here at the time of her death, Mrs. Ellen
Thompson and Mrs. Bertie Firth of Cowgill, Missouri.  Mrs. Schroeder died
at her home at Grimes at the age of 57 years, 11 mo. and 2 days.  She was
laid to rest at the Dempsey cemetery (Roger Mills County) March 25th.
Iva, the little daughter, who died in December, 1907, was removed March 26
from the Wayland cemetery (Beckham County) to the Dempsey cemetery and
placed by the side of her mother.  By a Friend.
