Read More	Edgar Sun (Edgar, NE) Fri, Mar 15, 1929 - Pg 1 Amelia P Kelso was born December 5, 1842, at Logan City, Ohio, where her parents lived until she was about eleven years of age, when the family moved to Illinois where the subject of this short sketch grew to womanhood and completed her education. She was united in marriage to Mr Bracken Smith, Jan 1, 1861, to this union were born two children who departed this life in infancy. When the Civil War broke out Mr Smith enlisted in the Union army and never returned, dying in a hospital in Kentucky, which left the widow to battle life's problems alone with her family during those trying times of the war. In the year 1866, March 1, Mrs Smith was married to Wm S Workman and to this union were born five children, four of whom survive their mother and were present at their mother's funeral services, one having departed this life in infancy. In 1871 Mr Workman decided to come west and settle on a homestead in Saline county (sic), Nebraska and helped to break those prairies and develop the new country which always means many trying times, mingled with hardships on the part of those who are among the pioneers. After some years they moved to Cheyenne county (sic) Nebraska, for a short time, when they returned to Adams county (sic) near Hastings, where Sister Workman had the sad experience of losing her husband in death, which again left her alone to travel life's pathway without the comfort of a companion, except her children who have always been a great source of satisfaction and comfort to her. About 22 years ago she with her family came to Edgar which has been her home until the end came last Friday evening at about six o'clock, March 8, 1929, being 86 years, 3 months and 5 days of age. Mother has always lived more or less with her children until the later years when she spent the declining years with her daughter, Mrs J H Johnston, until the end came, who always did all she could to make the declining days as comfortable as possible. Our dear mother confessed her faith in Christ when she was but twelve years of age and became identified with resoration (sic) movement and place her membership in the Church of Christ and lived a consistent Christian life. She loved to talk about the bible and its wonderful promises and was never so happy as when she could discuss some biblical questions. The funeral services were held Sunday morning, March 10, at the home of her daughter, Mrs Johnston, at 10 o'clock conducted by her pastor who spoke words of comfort to a large company of relatives and friends who gathered to pay a tribute of respect to a mother, a friend and a neighbor, from the words of Paul in 2 Cor. first chapter and verses three and four which reads as follows: "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercy and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewi*h we are ourselves comforteth of God". The music was furnished by a mixed quartet in a very impressive and beautiful way with Mrs Wm Stewart at the piano. The floral offerings were very beautiful, The pall bearers were her two son-in-laws and four children who carried their dear mother to the last resting place with tender care. Sister Workman leaves to mourn two sons, J. M. Workman of Estes Park, Colo.; Robert Workman of Denver, Colo.; two daughters, Mrs C. E. Johnston of Wauneta, Nebr.; and Mrs J. H. Johnston of Edgar; nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren besides many relatives, neighbors and friends, May the bereaved one have strength for this sad experience in life, are the wishes of the writer and many friends. Interment was made by the side of her dear companion in the Juniata cemetery west of Hastings, Nebr. --J J Ruppert.
