    3. The Valley Fall New Era Jefferson County Thurday October 6, 1910 Died of Grief. Mrs. Elizabeth E. POWELL, age 81 years, died Saturday morning, Oct. 1, 1910, of grief over the death of her aged husband, Robert M. Powell, who died the Tuesday before, and the death of her last surviving sister, who died in Peoria, Ill., September 11. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Powell told her friends there was nothing more for her to live for, made no effort to live, and death soon relieved her. Mrs. Powell was born in Hampshire, county, Va., in 1829. In 1879 the family moved to Valley Falls, where they lived four years, and then moved to Atchison. Three children survive: Frank F. POWELL, and Mrs. S.E. McCLURE, of Atchison, and Curtis POWELL, who has not been heard from in years. Funeral services were held at the home, 1026 Kansas avenue, Atchison, at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, the rev. Z. E. Bates officiating. Burial in Oak Hill cemetery.--Atchison Globe.
