A. OSTRANDER BURIED SUNDAY Mrs. A. Ostrander, aged 64, native of Iowa and wife of a pioneer Methodist minister, died at her Heights home Friday night. Funeral services were held from the home Saturday, Rev. C.R. Delepone officiating. Interment followed at Idlewilde cemetery. C.C. Anderson directed the funeral. Mrs. Ostrander, who was devoted the past several years to the care of her husband, an invalid, fell over a wrinkled rug corner several weeks ago, severely breaking an arm. The shock resulted in illness that caused her death. Elizabeth Knight was born in Iowa August 4, 1859. Her parents were devout Christians and she herself not only became a follower of Christ when quite young, but led a beautiful devoted Christian life. At the age of 19 she was married to Mr. Ostrander, and a few years after, when Mr. Ostrander was called to the Ministry of the gospel, shared with him the busy, self sacrificing and eventful life of a successful pioneer Methodist minister. Their united life was very happy, each seeking the happiness of the other in the faithful discharge of the duties which God called on them to enter. She was ready to go, glad to be with Jesus, her only grief being to leave her aged husband, 83 years old, alone, grieving for the departure of his faithful companion and wife. ----------------------- The Hood River News, Hood River, OR., June 6, 1924, page 6 MRS.
