Mrs. Lemuel Oxley

Elva Hoskins was born June 18th 1878, and departed this life September 13, 1913, aged 85 years, 2 months 25 days. She was born and died on the old home place five miles south of Nevada, where she lived with her widowed mother. She was married the Lemuel Oxley July 3, 1898. Three sons were born the union Albert 14, Owen 13 and Orvill 10 years of age. Her father, two sisters and ten brothers preceded her.

After a long siege of patient suffering through the winter Mrs. Oxley gained strength sufficient to be around her home again, as well as to visit many of her neighbors and friends. She was however taken suddenly and severely ill once more in spite of all that faithful and loving hands could do and after several hours at the last of intense suffering the end came.

She leaves an aged mother who in her death loses the last of five children, a husband, and three children, besides many relatives and friends.
