MARGARET EMILY SPAULDING
Margaret Emily Spaulding was born in Kentucky on March 23, 1852 and died at her 
home in Dawson on April 19, 1922.
She leaves her husband, three sons, Charles, John and Garl and four daughters, 
Mrs. Florence Mitchell of Blue Springs, Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell of Humboldt, 
Mrs. Flora Hinks and Mrs. Edith Welch of Dawson.  Two daughters and one son 
have preceded their mother in death.
Mrs. Spaulding was the last one of a family of fourteen.   She has lived in 
this vicinity for forty-two years.
Mr. Spaulding has been sick for some time and the relatives had been notified 
the if they wished to see him alive to come home but the mother who has only 
been bed fast for a few days must have been weaker than she let anyone know and 
the end came unexpected.  She was brave even when she had worn out her strength.
The funeral will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock at the home, conducted by 
Rev. Underkofler and burial will be made in the Heim cemetery.
"My mother!  When I learned that thou was dead,
Say, wast thou conscious of the tears I shed?
Haven't thy spirit o'er thy sorrowing son,
Wretched even then, life's journey just begun?
Perhaps thou gavest-me, tho unfelt a kiss;
Perhaps a tear, if souls can weep in bliss
And that maternal smile!  it answers YES ..."
