THE ROLLA HERALD DEMOCRAT - OBITS "1918"
LOLA WHITSON BROOKSHIRE
31 Oct 1918 (issue date)
Lola Whitson Brookshire was born in Kentucky Oct. 3, 1875, and died at her home in Beulah, Mo., Oct. 3, 1918, at the age of 43 years. Spanish influenza was the immediate cause of death.
When Lola was a child the family came to Missouri, settling near Edgar Springs, at which place she spent the greater part of her girlhood.
On December 25, 1894, she became united in marriage to Travis G. Brookshire. To this union four daughters were born. They are Virginia (now Mrs. Jos. Jaszorawski) Rachel, Lillian and Madge. Husband, children, four sisters and three brothers survive.
Such is the brief summary of a life. To the casual reader it is sufficient. But not to us who were the associates, friends and neighbors of Lola Brookshire.
Over our community a shadow hangs. A gaping vacancy is here. A sweet life has passed out. Only a memory remains to remind us of a dear neighbor, a good woman. Only yesterday, it seems, she was one of us, taking part in our little affairs: working, chatting, laughing with us...
