Obituary – The Tiller and Toiler March 20, 1908, p. 1
Mrs. Worrell Passes Away.
Mrs. Elizabeth McClure Worrell, widow of the late Capt. J.P. Worrell, died at her home in Larned Tuesday morning of this week, at the age of 73 years, six months, and 21 days. Funeral services were held from the home Thursday afternoon of this week. Rev. Dr. Coltman officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in Larned Cemetery beside those of her husband and life long companion, who was buried less than a year ago.
Mrs. Worrell was one of the oldest residents of Pawnee County, having located here with her husband in the pioneer days. She was of the sturdy, heroic nature characteristic of the pioneer woman of America, and the charitable, hospitable nature which endeared her to her neighbors in the early days remained with her in her declining years. Those sympathetic with all in distress, her nature was more for works than words, and even in her in fabled old age whenever possible her kindly assistance was always forthcoming wherever distress was present among her friends. She leaves a large circle of warm friends who will ever remember the kindly spirit which dwelt beneath her quiet and unassuming, and to the stranger even more severe appearing exterior.
She leaves four children, all grown, as follows: Geo. Worrell of this county, Mrs. Myrtle Buckles of Larned, Mrs. Elizabeth Worrell Ball of Washington, D.C, and Mrs. Winnie Hendrick, who left here only a few weeks ago to join her husband in the Klondike.
