This was newspaper clipping from a Unionville newspaper in Putnam County, Missouri. Ellen Eliza BROWN LEE was born in (either Barren or Warren --the first letter is missing) County, Kentucky in the year 1836 and departed this life August 16, 1927 at the age of 91 years, 4 months, and 14 days. At the age of 17 she was married to Hiram KIRK. To this union was born two children, George An Parker of Wilbur, Washington, and Martha Parker deceased. In two years after their marriage her husband was thrown from a horse and killed, after which the young mother was very lonesome for eight years. She was then married to Matthew CRAWFORD of Powersville, Putnam County, Missouri. To this union were born six children: Mrs Mary HOWRY, deceased; Andy Crawford of Powersville, Una Starr of Meridan Idaho, Mrs Nancy PAULEY of Powersville, Mo, Charles Crawford of Charles City, Iowa and Joe Crawford of Powersville, Missouri. She was a kind and loving mother, always ready to help those in need. In 1895 she was again left a widown. She then lived with her son Joe, until several years ago. She then broke up housekeeping and went to live with Mr. and Mrs. B.F. Pauley where she was tenderly cared for until something over a year ago, when she came to live with her son Andy Crawford in Powersville where he remained until her death. Services were held at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. C. H. MURPHY, with interment in the Wyrekea cemetery.
