MRS. NANCY IVY

Mrs. Nancy Ivy, age 63 years, died Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at 
her home in Pauls Valley.  Funeral services were held at the First Christian
Church yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. J. K. Pedrick, who 
said in part as follows:

"In 1873 she and Mr. Ivy were married, making about 44 years they 
have lived together as husband and wife.  Of this union, ten children 
were born, nine of whom are present today to do honor to their mother's memory.  
One, Mrs. Robert Richardson, has preceded her mother to the better world,
leaving with us the two dear little boys so well known to us all.  This family 
of nine live, two in Kansas; one at Ada, Oklahoma; one at Harrisburg, 
Oklahoma and the others here in Garvin County.  Mrs. Ivy has been practically 
an invalid for a number of years, suffering almost every winter from la grippe 
and colds which kept her from the active or rather public Christian life of her 
younger days.  A few times during my pastorate here she was able to attend 
church, usually at night, and I remember well how she seemed to enjoy those 
opportunities.  When visiting in her home, I was impressed with her interest in 
all things spiritual, and I know that no man could have been as faithful in 
attendance and as loyal to his Master as Brother Ivy has always been 
without the hearty sympathy and support of the dear wife at home, who 
made sacrifices that he might be in his place at the services that she could
 not herself attend."

The remains were laid to rest yesterday afternoon in the City cemetery.
