Obituary- Page, Pracilla

Mrs. Priscilla Elwis Page Dead

Mrs. Priscilla Elwis Page died at the home of her brother, J.L. Taylor, in Harrah, Oklahoma, March 24, 1910, aged 71 years 5 months and 7 days.

Mrs. Page was born in Spalden, Lincolnshire, England, October 1[ ], 1838. She came to America with her parents when twelve years of age. November 22, 1862 she was married to Edwin Page at Dayton, Iowa County, Iowa. To this union were born two children, W.W. Page and Mrs. R.D. James, who with her two brothers, J.L. and J.E. Taylor still survive her.

Her husband, Edwin Page, died at Rossville, Kansas, December 30, 1897, since which time her loneliness and loss was to the utmost extent relieved by the affection and ministry of loving children and kindred, together with her many friends and neighbors who often spoke of her in most appreciative terms.

Thus the rapid story of another earthly life is finished. We have gently laid away her body amidst a bower of fragrant flowers, emblematic to us of the beauty of a remembrance we will always cherish, and though with tears at the parting, submit to Him who never fails to furnish a compensation in the end for all our losses.

[From The Rossville Reporter, April 1, 1910]
