Obituary

Ida Freece was born in Vermillion Co. Ill, August 26, 1876; died February 12, 1907, aged 30 years, 5 month, and 16 days. When she was four years of age her parents moved to sumner county, Kansas, living on a farm about six miles north of Wellington until 1894, when they moved to Kay County, about six miles southwest of Tonkawa, where she resided until her death. She was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at eleven years of age. When about nine years of age she became an invalid, after moving to this county, she improved in health for a few years and her friends hoped that she might fully recover, but again she grew worse and was a constant sufferer for many years. For months just prior to her death her sufferings were intense and for weeks her death was expected yet she expressed herself as being ready for the change. On Thursday afternoon, February 14, funeral services were held at the home, conducted by Rev. Geo.W. Irwim, the sermon being Rev. 2 1-4.
