MRS. RHODA B. LaHUE


Rhoda B. SAMPSON was born to Norris C. and Sarah A. SAMPSON on August
5, 1855, at Hebron, Ind. She passed away at Norman, Okla., March 19,
1939, at the age of 83 years, 7 months and 5 days.

She was married to Lorenzo S. MEAD July 3, 1876. He preceded her in
death in 1884 at Coldwater, Kansas. To this union two children were
born, Hal G. MEAD of Norman, and Maude Irene GLASS who also preceded
her in death.

In 1889 she married Charles J. LaHUE of Great Bend, Kansas. Mr. and
Mrs. LaHUE came to Oklahoma shortly after the opening of the
Cheyenne-Arapaho country and bought a relinquishment west of
Kingfisher. Mr. LaHUE passed away in 1901.

Mrs. LaHUE made Kingfisher her home until about five years ago when
she moved to Norman to be with her son.

She joined the Methodist church at a very early age and was always a
devoted worker and a most earnest and faithful Christian until the
time of her death, having held her church membership for over seventy
years.

She leaves to mourn her passing, one son, Hal G. MEAD of Norman, seven
grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, one niece, Mrs. Ted
ALEXANDER of Kingfisher and other relatives and friends.

Not only her immediate family but the many who served wtih her through
the years in the church - the one great passion of her life - will
remember her spirit, a pioneer first in Kansas in 1877, then in the
early days of this state, but a pioneer beyond any political state -
in the realm of the spirit - seeking and serving God, and willing to
endure hardship in His name.

Funeral service was held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the
Methodist-Congregational church, Rev. H.A. MORTON, officiating.
BRACKEN funeral home was in charge of interment in Kingfisher
cemetery.
