Mrs. Isabella Fields, a pioneer of this community, passed away at the home 
of her daughter, Mrs. Clyde Quinn at Pearson, Oklahoma last Sunday morning 
April 5, 1931. Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church in 
this city Monday by Rev. Carl Covey, pastor of the First Christian church 
of Elk City, assisted by Rev. G.A. Watson of Durham, Rev. H.H. Cady of 
this city and Rev. Hesnon, pastor of the Broadway Methodist church of Elk 
City. The remains were laid to rest in the Cheyenne cemetery, Cheyenne, 
Roger Mills County, Oklahoma by the side of her husband.

Mrs. Fields came to Cheyenne with her husband and children and settled on 
a claim north of this city. Her husband preceeded her in death shortly 
after they came to this community. Mrs. Fields reared her children on the 
old homestead. Later she moved to this city where she made her home up 
until a few years ago when she went to make her home with her children. 
Mrs. Fields had been in poor health most of the winter and her condition 
became serious about a week before she passed from life.

Mrs. Fields was a member of the Christian Church and a life member of the 
Platonic club of this city. She figured materially in the religious and 
social life of Cheyenne as long as she resided here. Her friends are a 
legion: It is said of Mrs. Fields that she away scattered sunshine and 
love wherever she went and that no one ever heard her speak evil of any 
one.

She leaves to mourn her demise four children, Mrs. B.D. Cooksey of 
Seagraves, Texas, Mrs. L.D. Beaty of Cheyenne, Boney Fields of Portales, 
N.M. and Mrs. Clyde Quinn of Pearson, Oklahoma. She also leaves two 
brothers, Dr. T.E. Standifer of Turkey, Texas and Dr. J.E. Standifer of 
elk City; nine grandchildren and three great grand children.

Among those from a distance attending her funeral were Mrs. Cooksey and 
daughter Donalita, Boney Fields, Mr. and Mrs. Quinn, W.T. Bonner, Ray 
Hodges Bohnner, Billie Bonner, Dr. J.E. Standifer and wife Dr. Orrin 
Standifer and Mrs. Virgil Hill, all of Elk City; Mrs. Florence Gannaway 
and Mr. and Mrs. E.C. Winford of Clinton, Mrs. Irma Combs of Amarillo, 
Texas; Mr. and Mrs. George Cafky of Beaver City and a large number of 
others from Elk City and Sayre.
