The Arma Record; Arma, Kansas; Thursday, February 1, 1917; page 3: Mrs. Thomas Dawson died at her home in Englevale [Kansas] Saturday, January 27 [1917] in the 79th year of her age. The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church at Englevale on Monday at 1 p. m. by Rev. J. Kansas Morgan. A large congregation of old neighbors, friends and relatives were present and by their expressions of sorrow and sympathy manifested their esteem for the deceased. Mary Ellen Weidner Dawson was a native of Carroll County, Indiana. She was born there March 9, 1838 and grew to womanhood in the confines that country. January 10, 1863, she became the wife of Thomas Dawson, the father of two children by his previous wife. These were Melissa Dawson, now Mrs. Milton Siple of Arma, and Perry Dawson now of Welch, Okla. To these she became a kind and conscientious mother. In her union with Mr. Dawson she became the mother of six children, four of whom died in infancy. The other two are Reed Dawson and Mrs. Addie Gilbert both of Englevale. The family moved from their Indiana home in 1876 and settled on the farm two-and-one-half miles southeast of Englevale, which has been their home until about four years ago when they took up their abode in Englevale. Mrs. Dawson was a woman of unusual industry, devoted to her home and its duties. She was not much interested in social affairs, finding her chief pleasure in her home, but those who knew her appreciated her qualities as a wife and mother and many mourn her loss and sympathize with her husband in his bereavement. Besides her husband, children and numerous grandchildren, she has no living relatives except a half-brother who lives in Indiana and was not able to be present at her funeral.
