Notes for STELLA JEFFERS:
Obituary
Stella Jeffers was born
October 14, 1870 in Memphis, Missouri, and died July 24, 1945 in Pratt, Kansas. Her mother died when she was two years of
age and she moved to Sun City, Kansas with foster parents at the age of 15,
later moving to a farm 6 miles southwest of Coats, where she lived until she
moved to Pratt 18 years ago to spend the remainder of her life.
She was united in marriage
on March 8, 1891, to Edward Dunning
Chinn of Springvale, Kansas, who preceded her in death in 1900. To this union four children were born: Ethel
Tryon of Clayton, New Mexico; Athel of Liberal, Kansas; Maple of Coats, and one
son who preceded her in death in 1918.
In addition to her three children who were with her at the time of her
death Mrs. Chinn is also survived by one sister, Dora Woods of Aline, Okla., 22
grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren.
She was converted early in
life and remained a faithful Christian and active church worker to the
end. At the time of her death she was a
member of the Assembly of God church.
Mrs. Chinn has six
grandsons in the service of our country.
One grandson, Dick Tryon, was killed in action while serving his
country.
THE OLD FARM
On that dear old farm where the children played,
'Neath the spreading boughs of the elms shade;
Where two generations have come and gone,
The children are scattered and parents alone.
Oh! That farm
is the dearest on earth to me,
Dearer than any other ever could be.
For where the children were born and played,
'Neath the spreading boughs of the elms shade.
I'm the mother and grandmother of these children so
dear,
And growing older each passing year.
And I'm asking God that these I love,
May meet someday in Heaven above.
----By
Mrs. Stella Chinn.
(This poem, which was
written by Mrs. Stella Chinn a short time before her death, was found by the
family after her passing).
