Obituary- Pendleton, Lorena 2

HEART ATTACK IS FATAL TO MRS. W. D. PENDLETON
From the Atchison Globe.
A victim of heart attack, the body of Mrs. Lulu Mosely Pendleton, 43, wife of W. D. Pendleton, district agent for the Kansas Life Insurance Co., was found lying on the floor of the insurance office at 703 ½ Commercial street shortly after 12 o’clock today by her son, Warren Pendleton, Atchison high school student. Mrs. Pendleton had apparently been dead since shortly after 10 o’clock.

Mrs. Pendleton came to the insurance office early this morning to look after some business matters for her husband, who is recuperating from a fractured ankle and who did not feel well enough this morning to come down town. G. H. Snyder, photographer, whose studio is in the same office building, talked to Mrs. Pendleton, at 8:30 o’clock this morning and she appeared to be in good health. At 10 o’clock Mrs. Pendleton called Armstrong Brothers to place a grocery order.

Warren (“Pat”) Pendleton returned home from school and not finding his mother there called the office. When there was no response he walked from his home 321 North Tenth street, arriving at the office about 12:20 o’clock. The spring lock on the office door had accidently sprung shut and he gained admittance with his personal key.

Mrs. Pendleton’s body was lying face down on the floor in front of an easy chair in which she apparently had been sitting and reading a newspaper. Coroner George Harouff said that Mrs. Pendleton had been dead for several hours.

Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Pendleton moved to Atchison from Rossville 4 years ago, and in that short time Mrs. Pendleton had made a host of friends in Atchison. She was of a kindly disposition, an ideal wife and mother, and a splendid business woman.

Lurana Jane Pendleton, daughter of the late Rachel and L. E. Moseley was born Aug. 19, 1886 at Rossville, Kansas, and departed this life at Atchison, Kan. April 1st, 1930, at the age of 43 years.

She was married to W. D. Pendleton, March 12, 1909. To this union were born two children, Fern of Rossville, Kansas, Warren, of Atchison. Besides the husband and two children, she leaves to mourn her departure two sisters, Mrs. May Stiles, Eagle Bridge, N. Y. Mrs. Violet Cahill, Eskridge, Kansas, one brother Walter Moseley, Fort Worth Texas, an aunt Mrs. Chettie Howard, Rossville, with whom she made her home for a number of years, a number of other relatives and a host of friends.

At an early age she gave her heart to the Master uniting with the Presbyterian church. Later she transferred her membership to the Methodist church where it remained at the time of her death.

She lived at Rossville until Sept. 1926, when she with her family moved to Atchison, Kansas.

Mrs. Pendleton was reared in this community and received her education in the Rossville school. After finishing high school she taught four years in the district schools. She took an active interest in civic affairs of this community. She was Worthy Matron of Amaryllis Chapter of the O.E.S. at Rossville, and was a member and active worker in the Literary and Music circle.

Mrs. Pendleton was very worthy of the beautiful name Mother, for she was ever making sacrifices for her children and was ever a devoted wife.

She possessed a wonderful personality and made friends easily and quickly and soon endeared herself to all who knew her.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the Methodist church conducted by the Rev. G. C. Albin of Topeka.

Interment will be in Rossville cemetery.
