Does anyone have her maiden name? I couldn't find a death certificate so it could be she died in Kansas. Unknown Publication, April 1919 Mary J. Melton The subject of this sketch was born in Miller County, Mo., on the 10th day of February 1864, and departed this life April 28th 1919, at the age of 55 years 2 months and 18 days. Early in her girlhood days she made that noble confession, uniting with the Methodist Church at Harmony. On the 20th day of May, 1883, she was married to Wm. Harris who preceded her to the other world. To this union were born six children, all of whom survive her. They are Everett, John, Grover and Ralph Harris, Mrs. Clarence Blackburn of near Tuscumbia and Mrs. Elmer Rush of Kansas City. She was married the second time to James E. Melton of Tuscumbia on the 24th day of August, 1904, and soon after her last marriage she united with the Christian Church at Tuscumbia and she has lived a devoted Christian life. The children have lost a kind and devoted mother. Mr. Melton, her second husband, also preceded her to the grave. Mrs. Melton died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Elmer Rush of Kansas City, and the remains were brought to Tuscumbia for burial. Funeral services were conducted at the Christian Church by Eld. Davis of Eldon, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Tuscumbia Cemetery, there to await the final resurrection.
