Mrs. L. V. Lamberson passes away
Laura Victoria Yonce, a daughter of James E. and Eliza Yonce was born in Chicasaw Co., Iowa and departed this life at 8:30 AM Friday, Oct 13 1933, at her home in Wheaton MO., at the age of 76 years, 6 months and 11 days.
While still a small girl she moved with her parents to McDonald County, MO and in January 1881 she married Dr. A. W. Chenoweth of Pineville, MO. To this union were born two children, W.C. Chenoweth of Wheaton, MO and Harry Chenoweth of Seattle, Washington.
On September 29, 1894 she was united in marriage to H.P. Lamberson of Rocky Comfort, MO. To this unions were born three children: Maurice of Bentonville, Ark; Herbert of Muskogee, Okla, and Earl of Wheaton, MO.
She was one of eight daguthers in the Yonce family, only three of whom survive: Mrs Ida Buttam of Bestwater, Ark; Mrs Allie Pepper of Kansas City and Mrs Minnie Tiner of Rogers, Ark.
In addition to time spent in rearing five sons in her immediate family, she was also mother to twelve step children, six in the Chenoweth family and a like number in the Lamberson family. Besides the above mention relatives she is survived by fifteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
She converted at an early age in life and became a member of the Methodist church and a follower of the teachings of Christ her life has been beyond reproach.
Funeral services were conducted Sunday, Oct 15, at the Methodist Church in Rocky Comfort by Rev Sherman Erickson assisted by Rev C.F. Siler and burial was made in the Rocky Comfort Cemetery under the direction of Pogue's Funeral Home.
Editor's Note: It is always customary for people to say good things and worthy deeds of a person after their death, regardless of whether the departed is worthy of the sayings.
It can be truthfully said that no kinder, peaceable or loving person could be found on this earth than Mrs Lamberson If she has an enemy it was unkniwn and ger friends are beyond number. Following is part of a letter weitten by Mrs Lora S. LaMance of Lake Wales, FL, nationally known W.C.T.U, worker an lecturer, which was written after she recieved a message of Mrs Lamberson's death: Speaking of Mrs Lamberson she says: "She was always courteous, always loving and kind. A real Christian. A devioted daughter. A good mother. A fine neighbor. She grew old gracefully. Now she has followed her two husbandsm her mother, her four sisters to the grave. She is in the abode of those who have died in the Lord. No more sorrow or trials. Eternal life has opened out before her a life so mucj tichaer, fuller, deeper, grander that finite minds cannot conceive of it. Do not wish her back. It us well with her. Some day we shall join her, and like it is now with her, we shall see our Lord and Savior face to face.

Note: Laura, my great grandmother, died ten years before I was born. My uncle Harry though told me he had visited there one summer in Rocky Comfort. I was lucky enough to have Kevin McCandless post this picture of her, a gift I got back from find-a-grave. Work is rewarded in surprising ways. Laura was 3rd eldest of what would become 8 daughters born to James Edward Yonce and his wife Eliza Phillips. Laura was born in Iowa, in Chickasaw County where the family lived after five years moving around Iowa having come as a couple just after their marriage in Wythe Co., VA. They stayed in Chickasaw County about 8 years while Laura grew up a young girl. Then came a trek that took the family back to Virginia and perhaps James presenting his daughters to his aging mother Allie Brown Yonce. The trek then took them to Missouri, and then James died in 1872, leaving Eliza with 8 daughters from nineteen to new born. I am sure at fifteen Laura had lots to do to help her mother take care of the girls. I know the family ended up in Pineville, McDonald Co., MO running a store. Albert White Chenoweth, a well respected doctor in town, had just lost his wife and I am sure that Elisa had a hand in arranging for Laura to marry the doctor, 22 years her senior at the age of 24. She was immediately stepmother to six children ranging in age from 19 to 4. Eleven months later came the first of her two Chenoweth sons, Wallace. The two years later, 2 weeks before my grandfather Harry was born, the doctor was bushwhacked by the local saloon owner, Garland Mann. Laura was 8 and a half months pregnant when she was running down the road after her stepson Charley to the place where the doctor lay dead. They had been alerted to a problem when the doctor's buggy had arrived at the house without him. Laura was into single parent family raising for the next 8 years, until she married Harry Lamberson, a widow in his own right with 7 children. Laura was now of mother of two boys and 13 stepchildren and she and Harry would have three more together, Maurice, Herbert and Earl Lamberson. The picture to me is one of a person with a odd zest for life. Laura certainly had all that to do what she did.
