Death of Mrs. Baueman/Bausman

The funeral of Mrs. Ida Gordon Baueman took place in the city Tuesday, April 15th, at three o'clock at the Presbyterian church. Rev Thos Barrier assisted by Rev G. W. McQuiddy conducted the services. Interment was made in Odd Fellows cemetery south of town. Mrs. Baueman died April 15th at the hospital in Guthrie, Okla., where she had gone three weeks ago for treatment at the advice of her physician. Her son Floyd, and her daugter, Mrs. Robert Heagy, immediately left for Guthrie when the news came of her death. Her daughter Blanche and sister Mrs. Edna Stobault, of Cresent City were at her bedside when she died. All that loving care and skillful nursing could do for the patient sufferer was done, but release came suddenly and the loved mother had gone home to God.
Mrs. Ida Gordon Bausman was born March 5th, 1858 in Case county, Ia where she lived until the fall of 1870 when her father moved his family to Sumner county, Kansas. Here she was married Dec 31, 1876 to Mr. William Bausman. To this union were born nine children, eight of whom are living. Their first home was in Winfield, Kansas, where they lived until 1884 when they went to Arkansas and stayed two years, then moved to Colorado. In 1889 they moved back to Kansas and settled in Ark City, where they resided until Mr. Bauesman got a claim in the race, southeast of Blackwell where the family ever since have lived.
Mrs. Baueman leaves to mourn a most loving and devoted mother, eight children; three sons, Guy, Floyd, and Carl and five daughters, Mrs. Robert Heagy, Misses Blanche, Glen, Goldie, and little Fern, also deranged mother, Mrs. Goodon, three sisters, Mrs. Goddard, of Broken Arrow, Mrs. Stobault of Cresent City, Mrs. Phebe Wilson and one brother, Mr. John Gordon. Mrs. Baueman had a most unselfish sympathetic and loving disposition which greatly endeared her to all her friends. Her Christian faith was unwavering. In 1884, she united with the Christian church at Cherokee City, Arkansas, of which denomination she remained a consistent member until called home. Her many friends and all who knew her sorrow and sympathize with the bereaved children and relatives.

Weep not that her tolls are over, Weep not that her race is won;
God grant that you may rest as calmly When you work like here is done;
'Till then, would you yield with gladness Your mother for Him to keep
And rejoice in the sweet assurance, He giveth His beloved sleep.
