The Idaho Post, Moscow, Idaho, January 14, 1916: "Mrs. G.W. Anderson died at the family home, one mile north of this city, at an early hour Tuesday morning [January 11], of pneumonia, after an illness of two weeks. She was aged 60 years, and had been a resident of Moscow for the past six years, and of Latah county for 17 years, having lived in Palouse precinct east of Palouse for 11 years.
"Mrs. Anderson was a most estimable woman, and had been for many years an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church. She leaves her husband and one, Russell Anderson. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the local Methodist church, the pastor Rev. Robert Warner conducting the service.
"The Anderson family have been sorely afflicted during the last month. Mr. Anderson was first afflicted with pneumonia, and was nursed through a siege of serious illness by his faithful wife, who, shortly after he was able to leave his bed, was taken down herself. A sister of Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Amelia DeGowin of Palouse, was then called to nurse Mrs. Anderson and after being here a few days, contracted pneumonia, and was in the Inland hospital in this city when Mrs. Anderson's death occurred."
The Idaho Post, January 21, 1916: "The passing from our midst, of Mrs. G.W. Anderson has cast a gloom over the entire community for she had a very large circle of friends and was beloved by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Her love of home and her devotion to the daily routine of domestic life was a rare example of what a consistent Christian wife and mother may accomplish. She was faithful to a friend, always ready by word or deed to lighten a burden, to bring a bit of sunshine into a sad or sorrowing heart. Ready always to sacrifice for those she loved and all who were associated with her will feel her influence long after she has been laid to rest. She said she was 'so tired' that she 'wanted a long rest, that she was going home.' She has entered into that blessed state
'We shall rest, and faith we shall need it,
'Lie down for an aeon or two
'Till the Master of all good workmen
'Shall set us a task anew.'
"She was frail of body but strong of courage, full of hope, ready to go but solicitious for the comfort and welfare of the father and son she was leaving in a sad and silent home. May the tie that has been severed prove to be a cord that shall bind more closely, in loving affection and sympathy, the hearts of the two who will miss her most. Only those who have passed thru a similar experience can fully appreciate the gloom of the home without a mother.
"The thotfulness, the acts of human kindness of loving friends and neighbors will cheer many an otherwise lonely hour. The people in and about Moscow did much to make her happy during her brief stay among them and I am sure the husband and son will now receive all of the loving sympathy and help that can be bestowed.
"Mrs. Anderson (Ama DeGowin) first saw the light of life at Constable, New York, April 28th, 1855. She was the daughter of a Methodist minister and a loving Christian mother, the latter of whom is still living and recently expressed a wish that she might come west and spend her last days with Mr. and Mrs. Anderson.
"George W. Anderson and Ama DeGowin were married in 1881, came to Palouse 24 years ago and have lived seven years at Moscow. They united with the M.E. church here and Mrs. Anderson greatly enjoyed the association with classmaster and fellow workers in church and sabbath school. 'He giveth his beloved rest.' We shall miss her but as sure as she lived here, she will live beyond the river. She has only crossed to await our coming on the other side. We will join her in that happy Home. --One Who Loved Her"
