There is nothing to indicate what newspaper it came from. Obituary of Frances Dean Frances Dean was born in Richmond, Virginia, March 6, 1842, died in Buffalo Gap, October 15, 1918 at the age of seventy six years, six months and nine days. At the age of seventeen years she was married to James Harrison who lost his life in the Civil War, June 6, 1864. Two children were born of this union; Alice, who died in infancy and Mrs. S. J. Godsey of Custer. At the age of twenty-five years she married E. E. Dean who died July 9, 1906. Two children were born to this union; Mrs. J. K. Dow of Bakerville and Mrs. Freemont Winnie of Riverton, Wyoming. She also leaves nine grandchildren, and four great grandchildren to mourn her loss. She united with the Baptist Church in early life and lived a consecrated christian. During her illness of almost three months her every thought was of her home in heaven as she had made her peace with God. Her last look was of peace and love for the children, which seemed to say, goodbye, meet me in Heaven. Dearest Mother, thou has left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel. But 'tis God that has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee When the day of life is fledl Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed. --Mrs. S. J. Godsey We wish to extend our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors for the kindness and sympathy shown us during the illness and death of our beloved mother. Also for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. S. J. Godsey Mrs. J. K. Dow Mrs. Freemont Winnie
