SARAH CATHERINE ROSE COWSERT
It is with a feeling of bitter sadness that we note the death of Mrs.
Kate Cowsert, which occurred at her home near Shawneetown, December 19,
1891, of pneumonia, age 34 years 10 months and 5 days.
She was born in Hardin County, Ill, and has lived in Gallatin County
for about seven years. She was the mother of seven children, and 'tis
they who will miss her more than all. She was married to Green Cowsert
when about 15 years of age, and he, with the children and other
relatives, is left to mourn her death. She was the daughter of
James and Martha Rose. She was a good woman, an affectionate wife
and a devoted mother, and will be sadly missed by all; for to know
her was to love her.
Thus, one by one, we join the innumerable throng which moves in mystery
towards the grave. Thus, often, the pale boatman beckons us to join him
before we even hear the splash of the oars, or have time to bid the
loved ones farewell.
May the husband and dear children so live that when the grim monster,
Death, claims them as his own they will be prepared to meet the loved
ones gone before.
Last rites conducted by Rev. Robert Reid, on Sunday at 4 p.m.,
December 20, after which all that was mortal of this good woman was
laid to rest in the Bowlesville Cemetery.

WILLIAM P. COWSERT
(Son of Atwell Cowsert and Margaret Elizabeth Rodgers)
William Cowsert, 101, RFD #2, Eldorado, died at 5:30 p.m. in Pearce
Hospital. He was a retired coal miner, wife Armaniler Cowsert, sons
Gilbert, of Eldorado; Artie of Gary, IN; Elvis of Hobart, IN; David
of Joliet and Vernon of Jackson, Mississippi; daughters Maurine Denta
(Depta?) of Gary, IN; Madge Tarleton of Harrisburg; Lucille McVay of
Raleigh, IL. Funeral at the Martin Funeral Home and burial in Wolf
Creek Cemetery. He was born in Gallatin County, IL, on the 13th of
September 1865; father Atty Will Cowsert who was born in Saline County,
Illinois; no mother listed.
The Daily Register, Harrisburg, Illinois, 14 December, 1966.
Correction: I believe two records (census and social security) prove that William Cowsert was born in 1879 and was thus 88 years old when he died. Also, I believe William was born in Hardin County, but Gallatin is a possibility. Atwell was probably born in Pope or Hardin County.

SARAH CATHERINE ROSE COWSERT
It is with a feeling of bitter sadness that we note the death of Mrs.
Kate Cowsert, which occurred at her home near Shawneetown, December 19,
1891, of pneumonia, age 34 years 10 months and 5 days.
She was born in Hardin County, Ill, and has lived in Gallatin County
for about seven years. She was the mother of seven children, and 'tis
they who will miss her more than all. She was married to Green Cowsert
when about 15 years of age, and he, with the children and other
relatives, is left to mourn her death. She was the daughter of
James and Martha Rose. She was a good woman, an affectionate wife
and a devoted mother, and will be sadly missed by all; for to know
her was to love her.
Thus, one by one, we join the innumerable throng which moves in mystery
towards the grave. Thus, often, the pale boatman beckons us to join him
before we even hear the splash of the oars, or have time to bid the
loved ones farewell.
May the husband and dear children so live that when the grim monster,
Death, claims them as his own they will be prepared to meet the loved
ones gone before.
Last rites conducted by Rev. Robert Reid, on Sunday at 4 p.m.,
December 20, after which all that was mortal of this good woman was
laid to rest in the Bowlesville Cemetery.

WILLIAM P. COWSERT
(Son of Atwell Cowsert and Margaret Elizabeth Rodgers)
William Cowsert, 101, RFD #2, Eldorado, died at 5:30 p.m. in Pearce
Hospital. He was a retired coal miner, wife Armaniler Cowsert, sons
Gilbert, of Eldorado; Artie of Gary, IN; Elvis of Hobart, IN; David
of Joliet and Vernon of Jackson, Mississippi; daughters Maurine Denta
(Depta?) of Gary, IN; Madge Tarleton of Harrisburg; Lucille McVay of
Raleigh, IL. Funeral at the Martin Funeral Home and burial in Wolf

September 1865; father Atty Will Cowsert who was born in Saline County,
Illinois; no mother listed.
The Daily Register, Harrisburg, Illinois, 14 December, 1966.
Correction: I believe two records (census and social security) prove that William Cowsert was born in 1879 and was thus 88 years old when he died. Also, I believe William was born in Hardin County, but Gallatin is a possibility. Atwell was probably born in Pope or Hardin County.

She was born in Hardin County, Ill, and has lived in Gallatin County

they who will miss her more than all. She was married to Green Cowsert

James and Martha Rose. She was a good woman, an affectionate wife
and a devoted mother, and will be sadly missed by all; for to know
her was to love her.
Thus, one by one, we join the innumerable throng which moves in mystery
towards the grave. Thus, often, the pale boatman beckons us to join him

May the husband and dear children so live that when the grim monster,
Death, claims them as his own they will be prepared to meet the loved
ones gone before.

WILLIAM P. COWSERT

Gilbert, of Eldorado; Artie of Gary, IN; Elvis of Hobart, IN; David
of Joliet and Vernon of Jackson, Mississippi; daughters Maurine Denta

Raleigh, IL. Funeral at the Martin Funeral Home and burial in Wolf
Creek Cemetery. He was born in Gallatin County, IL, on the 13th of
September 1865; father Atty Will Cowsert who was born in Saline County,
Illinois; no mother listed.
The Daily Register, Harrisburg, Illinois, 14 December, 1966.
Correction: I believe two records (census and social security) prove that William Cowsert was born in 1879 and was thus 88 years old when he died. Also, I believe William was born in Hardin County, but Gallatin is a possibility. Atwell was probably born in Pope or Hardin County.

WILLIAM P. COWSERT
(Son of Atwell Cowsert and Margaret Elizabeth Rodgers)
William Cowsert, 101, RFD #2, Eldorado, died at 5:30 p.m. in Pearce
Hospital. He was a retired coal miner, wife Armaniler Cowsert, sons
Gilbert, of Eldorado; Artie of Gary, IN; Elvis of Hobart, IN; David
of Joliet and Vernon of Jackson, Mississippi; daughters Maurine Denta
(Depta?) of Gary, IN; Madge Tarleton of Harrisburg; Lucille McVay of
Raleigh, IL. Funeral at the Martin Funeral Home and burial in Wolf
Creek Cemetery. He was born in Gallatin County, IL, on the 13th of
September 1865; father Atty Will Cowsert who was born in Saline County,
Illinois; no mother listed.
The Daily Register, Harrisburg, Illinois, 14 December, 1966.
Correction: I believe two records (census and social security) prove that William Cowsert was born in 1879 and was thus 88 years old when he died. Also, I believe William was born in Hardin County, but Gallatin is a possibility. Atwell was probably born in Pope or Hardin County.

Obituary
Mrs. M.A. Frabee [sic], who has been sick for some time, started for Kansas in a wagon last week, and while in camp on Caney River Thursday, she quietly passed into the gentle sleep of death. The deceased was 61 years old, and was the mother of six children, four boys and two girls, who with an aged husband are left to mourn her loss. She was a native of Ohio, but shortly after marriage she came west and has lived on the western border since, until the opening of the strip, when with her husband and family came to this vicinity where she has since resided. She has been a member of the Methodist church since girlhood. The remains were brought back here, and laid to rest in the Oak Hill Cemetery Saturday. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family.

RAYMOND OMER COWSERT

SARAH CATHERINE ROSE COWSERT
It is with a feeling of bitter sadness that we note the death of Mrs.
Kate Cowsert, which occurred at her home near Shawneetown, December 19,
1891, of pneumonia, age 34 years 10 months and 5 days.
She was born in Hardin County, Ill, and has lived in Gallatin County
for about seven years. She was the mother of seven children, and 'tis
they who will miss her more than all. She was married to Green Cowsert
when about 15 years of age, and he, with the children and other
relatives, is left to mourn her death. She was the daughter of
James and Martha Rose. She was a good woman, an affectionate wife
and a devoted mother, and will be sadly missed by all; for to know
her was to love her.
Thus, one by one, we join the innumerable throng which moves in mystery
towards the grave. Thus, often, the pale boatman beckons us to join him
before we even hear the splash of the oars, or have time to bid the
loved ones farewell.
May the husband and dear children so live that when the grim monster,
Death, claims them as his own they will be prepared to meet the loved
ones gone before.

The deceased was 61 years old, and was the mother of six children, four boys and two girls, who with an aged husband are left to mourn her loss. She was a native of Ohio, but shortly after marriage she came west and has lived on the western border since, until the opening of the strip, when with her husband and family came to this vicinity where she has since resided. She has been a member of the Methodist church since girlhood. The remains were brought back here, and laid to rest in the Oak Hill Cemetery Saturday. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family.

WILLIAM P. COWSERT
(Son of Atwell Cowsert and Margaret Elizabeth Rodgers)
(Son of Atwell Cowsert and Margaret Elizabeth Rodgers)
The Daily Register, Harrisburg, Illinois, 14 December, 1966.
Correction: I believe two records (census and social security) prove that William Cowsert was born in 1879 and was thus 88 years old when he died. Also, I believe William was born in Hardin County, but Gallatin is a possibility. Atwell was probably born in Pope or Hardin County.
