The Western Spirit, Paola, Miami Co., Kansas, Friday, July 31, 1891, page 3:
"The sudden death of Mrs. Emeline B. Mayo at her home in Hillsdale last Monday evening was a sad surprise to her relatives and acquaintances. Heart disease was the trouble.
Mrs. Mayo had lived in this county 34 years, coming with her husband her in 1857. She was born in Greenville, Tennessee, in 1824, and was married to E. W. P. Mayo in 1842. Mr. Mayo died here in 1882. He was universally respected as one of the most successful farmers in the county. In 1871 he was the Democratic candidate for Treasurer and though defeated by Mr. Crowell, who was running for a second term, he polled a remarkably large vote.
The children, or men rather now, Jas. P., Jacob Tip, John C. and Ed. L., are all living and all here to attend the funeral which takes place to-morrow in Hillsdale cemetery. James and Pryor reside in Springfield Mo., Josiah lives in Montgomery county, near Sycamore, a little town on the Missouri Pacific railroad, and the other boys are all in business at Butler City, Montana.
The good woman will be greatly missed. She had a characteristic way of making friends and holding them. Plain cheerful and industrious she was a type of the woman of a generation ago, a courageous, devoted mother with a heart for any fate."
