Mrs. Welborn Dead
Mrs. Georgia A. Welborn died at her home on Main street Monday afternoon at 3:40 from an illness of complicated nature and of long standing. For some time Mrs. Welborn had been an invalid and during the past five years suffered almost continuously. She had remarkable vitality and fortitude and bore her suffering with a patience that was truly wonderful. During the last two years death was expected at almost any moment and yet she clung to life with the remarkable courage that was a source of consolation and surprise to the many to whom she was dear.
In addition to her physical pain she was subjected to what seemed more than her share of mental anguish. On the 27th of October of last year her husband, John Welborn, after an illness of only three weeks, passed away. At that time she was so critically ill that many thought she could not survive the shock; but with the bravery that has characterized her whole life she rallied and seemed for a while to have a chance for recovery.
During the few weeks just preceding her death she sank steadily and in spite of the ministrations of many loving hands her death was inevitable. Until the very last she was conscious and cheerful in spite of her great suffering.
Mrs. Welborn was formerly Miss Georgia A. Littlejohn and was a member of one of the foremost families in Lafayette county. She was born and reared near Aullville, and it was there she met and on February 13, 1879 was married to Hon. John Welborn. Nearly her entire life was spent in this county and she was among the best known and most respected women in this part of the state. She made friends readily and retained them, so that her departure is now mourned throughout the county.
Mrs. Welborn leaves her mother, Mrs. Martha Littlejohn of Aullville, four sisters; Mrs. J.H. Barnes of Salem, West Virginia, Mrs. C.V. Clary of Chickasaw, Oklahoma, Mrs. A.C. Williams and Miss Mattie Littlejohn of Kansas City; and three brothers, Wm. H. Littlejohn of Odessa, J.T. Littlejohn of Aullville and R.A. Littlejohn of Kansas City.
The funeral was held from the residence Wednesday morning at 10:30. Rev. R.B. Briney her pastor, conducted the services.
