Last Friday, March 16th, Mrs. Charles Fletcher died at Fort Collins, Colo., where she had gone to visit her son, Merton. She had gone to Fort Collins in mid-summer, shortly after she had returned to Glasco from spending last winter with her other son, Claude, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was buried at Glasco Tuesday, March 20, 1962, after services in the Lutheran Church, where she belonged. She was born at Ashton, Ill., July 29, 1872, and came to Kansas by covered wagon with her father, David S. Steele, and her mother, Susan Hardesty Steele. Four years later, they settled on a homestead eight miles northeast of Glasco in the Prairie Point neighborhood. Her brothers are Frank and Sam Steele of Glasco, both of whom preceded her in death, and Jesse Steele, now living in Elkhart, Kansas. Her sisters are Florence Steele Bailey of Long Beach, Calif., and Dorothy Steele Pearce of Concordia. She has two grandsons, Max L. Fletcher of Fullerton, Calif., and John R. Fletcher of Cincinnati, Ohio, and two granddaughters, Barbara Fletcher Pickett, of Corcoran, Calif., and Nancy Fletcher Kruse of Cincinnati, Ohio. She also leaves three great granddaughters and six great grandsons. She was one of the early pupils of Prairie Point School and for a time attended a recently formed high school in Glasco. August 31, 1892, she married Charles W. Fletcher, who had also made the trip by covered wagon from Illinois with his parents a few years earlier. She and her husband, Charley, farmed the home place just west of the Prairie Point school house for almost fifty years and their raised their two sons. Shortly after the beginning of World War II they moved to Glasco. It was there he died in 1951. Not necessarily to Charley and Elizabeth Fletcher, but to their whole generation, America owes a debt which can never be repaid unless we who have followed them equally dedicate themselves to the preservation of those traditions which these farm families established and the personal liberties which they so cherished. A memorial service was held at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Tuesday, March 20, 1962, at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Paul L. Rowoldt officiating. Vocal music was by Virginia Halderson and Lorene Martin, accompanied by Ota Studt at the organ. Pallbearers were Emil Liedtke, Purl Bailey, Dea Gates, Archie Capron, Charles Studt, and Ray Ball. Interment was in the Glasco cemetery, with Dean Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
