Hessie Himan Simmons Disbrow died 8 days after the birth of her 10th child, Louis Arthur Disbrow. She was the wife of Arthur Lincoln Disbrow. Her place of birth was Shelbina M. and she died in Seiling OK.
Charles Henry Disbrow her third child wrote the following memory of his mother.
My mother, Jessie H. Simmons was born to Charles Henry Simmons and Clarissa Elizabeth York Simmons at Shelbina, Mo. On Jan 16, 1870 where she lived the earlier years of her life. She taught school a few years; then she was married to Mr. A.L. Disbrow Aug 4, about 1890.
I remember my mother as being the kindest, the best, the most understanding and the most loving of mothers.
As a disciplinarian, she was not too strict, but strict enough to enforce her own rules kindly. She was able to cope with the many problems pioneers had to face -- such as leading her children to safety through the deep ditch of water backed up by the rising North Canadian River, or keeping her cool when suddenly she glimpsed a rattlesnake on the floor back of her. Luckily, her brother, Jule, was present and killed the snake. And when a band of Cheyenne Indians stopped by our house, asking for food, she fearlessly gave them some loaves of freshly baked bread, and they rode on. Probably they did not see me scared and hiding behind my mom's skirts.
My dear Mother passed away at Seiling, Okla. On Jan 8, 1908
Note: Jessie Disbrow's grave is in the Brumfield Cementary at Seiling OK #B100.
