The Osawatomie Graphic - Osawatomie, Miami County, Kansas - January 6, 1889:
“Mrs. Mary E. Tator Dead. Mrs. Mary E. Tater died at her home in this city last Saturday morning of la grippe, after an illness lasting one week. Mrs. Tator was born in Michigan in 1841 and came to this country with her parents in 1857. The following year she was married to Judge Cyrus Tator, who died in 1864. Mrs. Tator never remarried, choosing rather to devote herself to her only child, a son, and later when he had grown toward manhood, to asylum work. She spent some twelve or fourteen years of her life work in the asylum of this state, Missouri and Colorado. For a great many years she has been an ardent worker in the Congregational church and Sunday school at this place, but she never united with the church until five years ago, or about the time her parents died. She suffered a severe attack of la grippe at that time and her health has never been as sound as it was before. The “grip” came on her again just before Christmas and her course was steadily toward the tomb, in spite of all that could be done for her relief. Her death occurred in the forenoon last Saturday. Funeral services in her memory were held in the Congregational church last Sunday at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Rev. T.S. Roberts officiating. Her remains were laid to rest on the family lot in the old cemetery. They were attended to the grave by many of her friends and acquaintances who mourned in her death the loss of a warm hearted friend, an estimable woman, who had the welfare of others at heart more than she had her own. Mrs. Tator was that best holiest of earthly beings, a good woman. May she rest in peace.”
