One of the most sad deaths that have ever occurred, surely was that of Mrs. John Agans, Jr. who died at her home in Pittsburg, Oklahoma last Thursday, November 2, 1911, two days after the birth of a son. To add to the sorrow of the occasion is the fact that Mr. Agans and two boys are confined to their home with Malaria, and were unable to accompany the remains of wife and mother to this city.
Mr and Mrs Agans moved from Murray to Oklahoma last February but since taking up their residence there the family has been afflicted with the dreaded fever and we understand were contemplating returning to Iowa
The body of Mrs Agans arrived in Murray Saturday evening on No 2, accompanied by relatives. Funeral services were held from the Methodist Church at 2:30, conducted by Rev. G. W. Palmer. The Chruch was crowded by friends of the deceased and the sorrowing family to whom heartfelt sympathy is extended.
Henrietta Brenton Agans, daughter of Henry and Dora Brenton was born at Minburn, Iowa, March 18, 1885 and died at Pittsburg, Oklahoma on November 2, 1911. She was united in marriage to John W. Agans at Adel, Iowa, May 1, 1899. To them were born five children, one of whom, Lena died in infancy. The other four with her husband remain to mourn her loss, their names being John aged 3, Dora aged 5, Mona aged 3 and Henry born two days before his mother's death.
She also leaves to sorrow over her death, her mother Mrs. Dora O'Neal of Minburn, Iowa, a brother, W. G. Brenton of Minburn and three sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Woods of Denver, Mrs. Maude Wilkinson of Dallas Center, Iowa and Mrs. Hazel Birdsall of Perry, Iowa.
She united with the Methodist church while yet a girl and remained a devoted Christian throughout her life. She was educated in the Minburn schools and at Highland Park College and was a woman of rare qualities of mind and heart. With a modesty that shrank from public notice she lavished these gifts on her family and was a companion and helpmate in the truest and highest sense. She was a faithful and loving wife and a Patient and devoted mother and only those who know her in her home can appreciate the sweetness and purity of her unselfish life.
