Bio

9 Sep 1893--Died on the 7th, at the residence of her father, Jas. P. Cleeton, near town, of consumption, Mrs. E. E. McDowell, aged 19 years. After funeral services at the residence at 9 o'clock this morning the remains will be taken to Mt. Pleasant church, Howard county, for interment. 30 Sep 1893--OBITUARY--A beautiful life is ended. At the home of her father, Jas. Cleeton, on Sept 8, 1893, surrounded by relatives and friends, the pure spirit of Florence McDowell went home. A sorrowing husband, father, mother, brother and a little cousin, with many relatives and friends, feel the loss that has befallen us. She became a member of the Christian church at the age of 15 years and lived an exemplary Christian life until death. She was married to our esteemed young friend Elmer E. McDowell, on the 19th day of January, 1893. Those that were nearest and dearest knew that her life would be short, as an inherent lung trouble was developing, but we little thought she would succumb to the dread disease so soon at the age of 19 years and ten days. Here was an amiable disposition, always pure in character and conduct; to know her was to love her. She bore her sickness cheerfully, though she would often say, "I do so want to live for Elmer! "Tis sad, indeed, that their union of pure love must so soon have ended. May her memory be as a beacon light to guide husband, brother and little cousin home. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Anderson. The large attendance showed with what esteem she was held with neighbors and friends. HIGBEE NEWS (Randolph County, MO) (transcription by Kathy Bowlin)
