MRS. A. A. HYDE SUCCUMBS TO LONG ILLNESS
Wichita Mourns Passing of Woman Beloved by All

Mrs. A. A. Hyde, 78, died in her Wichita home this morning. She succumbed to ravages of advancing age after an illness of about six months.

At that time she suffered a stroke and although she made a brave fight for life gradually lost ground.

She is the mother of nine children, all grown and in sound health. She came to Wichita in 1873 and during the intervening 60 years had made her home here.

Mrs. Hyde was distantly related to Abraham Lincoln as her father, James Todd, pioneer grocer of Wichita, was from Kentucky and distantly related to Mary Todd Lincoln, mother of the great emancipator.

Mrs. Hyde was born in Peru, Ind., February 7, 1855, just three days more than 78 years ago. Her mother was Mary C. Knowlton from near Concord, Mass. Her mother was a graduate of Mount Holyoke college there.

Mrs. Hyde came to Wichita with her parents in 1878. She attended Bethany college in Topeka and the Agricultural college in Manhattan.

In 1875 she was married to A. A. Hyde who was destined to win international reputation as a manufacturer and philanthropist.

Although deafened when quite young she always attended church services as an example to her children. "Above everything she loved children and flowers. She was a pioneer of the type that thinks and does only for others. Her whole life was one of sacrifice. You instantly felt her love which she gave you," said an intimate acquaintance today.

She was a member of the Grace Presbyterian church in Wichita. Funeral services will be held there at 3:30 o'clock Saturday. Rev. Marcus Lindsay, pastor, will be in charge of services.

Family funeral services will be held at the home earlier in the afternoon.

Mrs. Hyde was the mother of nine children: Albert T. Hyde, Carmel, Cal., E. K. Hyde, Buffalo, N. Y., Alex Hyde, Wichita, Mary R. Lewis, Orrtana, Pa., Charles H. Hyde, Buffalo, Mrs. Roy Purviance, Harrisburg, Pa., Paul H. Hyde, Buffalo, George A. Hyde, Wichita, and Mrs. Houston Barclay, Wichita.

Mrs. Hyde was a constant companion of her husband, and was a principal aide in starting him on the way to international reputation as a manufacturer.
