OBITUARY.


Miss Susanna CAMPBELL was born near Anulusia, in Coregton County,
Alabama, May 19th, 1833. Died in Kingfisher, Okla., March 13, 1915;
age 81 years, 9 months and 24 days..

She was married to Ephraim DIXON in 1865. Of this union three sons
were born; John B. of Lareda, Texas; William G., Baker, both of
Kingfisher, Okla. This family is well known in Kingfisher.

Mother DIXON united with the Christian church when a young girl, and I
am told was a great lover of the bible which she read much until her
eyes failed to do her service. Then while the sons were away at their
work ladies of the church would go in and read to her from the most
precious book mucH to her comfort and satisfaction. She had been a
great sufferer, mentally as well as physically for quite a while. For
months she was almost entirely helpless, having to be cared for almost
as a babe. The devotion of her son William, with whom she lived was
as tender and careful as that of a mother to a helpless babe, and is
surely very touching and commendable. Some of these things will long
remain in my mind and heart.

The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Methodist
church, the pastor using as the basis of his remarks "Touched with a
feeling of our infirmities." Heb. 4:15. Many sympathising friends
attending, and the floral offerings were beautiful.
