Winfield Daily Courier, Winfield (Cowley County), Kansas, Monday, April 8, 1895:

Near Otto, Kansas, March 30, 1895, of pneumonia, Mary Pruitt aged 19 years.  She joined the United Brethren church about eighteen months ago and was a consistent christian and loved by all who knew her.  She leaves a widowed mother, two brothers and a little sister to mourn her loss, besides a large circle of friends, but we feel that our loss is her gain and we will meet her again someday.

Many thanks to the Cowley County Historical Society Museum and Bill and Lou Tharp of Cowley County Kansas Genealogy Research for providing Mary's obituary.
