Mrs. Pheoba A. Bartles, widow of the late Joseph Bartles,
died at the home of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Melissa
Bartles, 513 Oakland avenue, at the advanced age of 82
years. She was buried in the cemetery at Quindaro this
afternoon.
Mrs. Bartles was one of the pioneers of Wyandotte
county, and had lived here for the past forty years. She
came to Kansas with her husband from New Jersey. They
came up the Missouri river and landed at Quindaro in
June, 1857. During the war her husband took an active
part in suppressing the border ruffians that invaded
this section of the country at that time. He died in
this city about seventeen years ago. Her two sons –
Theodore and Jacob – enlisted and fought in the
federal army. Theodore died about nine years ago at the
home where his mother died. Jacob is now located in
Bartlesville, I. T. He arrived in the city from there
several days ago. |
