"Mrs. Ellen K., wife of Judge W. C. Samuel, died at her home on East Jackson Street at 2:40 o'clock Saturday morning after an illness of six days. Death was due to stomach trouble.

Mrs. Samuel had been subject to the affliction that terminated fatally for a number of years. Friday morning, a physician was called to attend her. He tried to allay the fears of her husband and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Amanda Samuel, stating that the illness was only of a temporary nature and that his patient would be up in a few days. Mrs. Samuel sank steadily, however, and apparently realized her dangerous condition. She was conscious to the end, which was peaceful.

Mrs. Samuel was born in Jefferson City June 25, 1825. Her maiden name was Ellen Woodward. The greater part of her girlhood days were spent at Richmond, Ray County, where her parents moved a few years after she was born. She was married in Richmond to Luther Warder, by whom she became the parent to two children. Only one of whom, George Warder, builder of the old Warder Grand Theatre in Kansas City, survives.

In 1849, Mrs. Warder was married to Judge Samuel in Richmond. In the same year, the couple moved to this city, where the family home has been located ever since. Judge and Mrs. Samuel were the parents of five children, all of whom are dead. For the past ten years, Mrs. Samuel had scarcely gone past the portals of her home. She was afflicted with rheumatism and for several weeks before her death, was practically bedfast.

During her active life, she was a constant worker in the Presbyterian church and had been identified with that denomination since she was a young girl. She was a charter member of the local congregation.

Of the once large Samuel family, there remains but one, the father. With his eighty-three years, his health is better than that of many a younger man. George Warder, the only surviving child of Mrs. Samuel, is the well known author. He has made his home in Kansas City for many years." The Chillicothe Constitution, January 19, 1905

Large numbers of friends paid their respects to the memory of Mrs. W.C. Samuel, who died Saturday morning, the obsequies being conducted at the family residence on East Jackson Street Saturday afternoon at three o'clock. Rev. T. A. Scott officiated by briefly speaking of the irreproachable life led by Mrs. Samuel. Burial was made in Edgewood Cemetery." The Chillicothe Constitution, January 19, 1905

"Mrs. Ellen K. Samuel, aged 80 years, died Saturday of general debility and a complication of diseases. She was a highly respected pioneer resident of Livingston County." Chariton Courier, January 27, 1905
