Departed this life at her home in Howard, Kansas, April 25, 1928, at the age of 70 years and 11 months. So far as we have been able to ascertain, she was the first white child born in Allen County, Kansas. She was married to Phelix Lorance August 21, 1873 and they departed at once to live on his claim near Elk Falls, Kansas, to take up the rugged life of the pioneers. In 1880 they moved to Arkansas where they lived for 4 years. Upon their return to Kansas they moved to a farm north of Howard where they lived until 1912 when they came to Howard to make their home. She was converted at an early age and was always active in her church as long as her health permitted and beautifully followed her Master in life of service and humility. She was unfailingly kind and devoted to her family and friends. While her last days were filled with suffering and pain she was always patient and thoughtful for those who cared for her. She is survived by her husband, Phelix Lorance and the following children: Mrs. Minnie McPherron of Wichita; Peter E. and G. W. Lorance; Mrs. Effie McDonald, Mrs. Teresa Gruenebaum and Hattie V. Dailey of Kansas City; Mrs. Pearl Guy of Hutchinson, Mrs. Leah Custer of Moline; and Miss Maude Lorance at home. Also 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, and one sister, Mrs. Margaret L. Clark of Longton and many other more distantly related. Howard and community as well as old neighbors and friends near and far, unite in expression of sincere sympathy to Mr. Lorance, the sons and daughters and other relatives. All thoughtful people note with profound regret the rapid passing of the splendid pioneers of our great State. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church, Friday afternoon at 2:30 conducted by Pastor Bayles. The services were largely attended. The floral offerings were unusually beautiful. Burial was made in Grace Lawn Cemetery. Howard Courant - May 3, 1928
