Obit for Mrs. Ida Stauber

The people of Western Oklahoma mourn the loss of a pioneer mother, an old settler, 
and a Christian saint.

Mrs. Ida Stauber of the Roll community near Crawford in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, 
passed away at 11:00 a.m. May 11, 1961 at the Cheyenne hospital.

Nearly 60 years ago she, her husband and three little children left their Linn 
County, Missouri home to become part of a tremendous group that pushed forth to 
settle in the Oklahoma territory.  This Stauber family possessed a courage and faith 
for a new home on the frontiers where for a few years they faced adverse conditions 
to establish a home.  The faith of their fathers and the heritage that was given 
them, gaave them the power to accomplish the goal they sought.

The first religious activities of this community were held in this Oklahoma home.  
Through the courage and faith of the people of this community they helped to carve 
out what we now have of Western Oklahoma.

Ida Coulson Stauber was born January 30, 1876 near St. Catharine, Missouri in a 
two room log cabin.  She was married to William Thaddeus Stabuer April 4, 1894.  
They resided near St. Catharine, Missouri until they moved to Oklahoma.

To this union five children were born.  Three are now deceased, namely Joseph Ott,
Olive Irene Tracy and Emma Dikes.  Surviving are William C. of Crawford and 
George P. of Dumas, Texas.  Her husband preceded her in death in 1935.

Other surviving relatives are two daughters-in-law, Inez and Pearlie Mae, 
a son-in-law E.B. Tracy, 11 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and a number 
of nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

Rev. Lloyd Martin and Rev. W.C. Vernon had charge of the funeral services held 
in the Crawford community building Sunday afternoon.  Committal was in the 
Silent Home Cemetery, Roll, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma under direction of 
Scroggins of Cheyenne.
