Medford (Oregon) Mail Tribune, Monday, 20 April 1914, Eagle Point Eaglets, p. 3, c. 2 In my last [column] I made mention of the death of Mrs. Grace C. Childreth, wife of W. L. Childreth. The subject of this notice was born in New Pence, Mo., October 11th, 1876 and died April 12th, 1914, aged 37 years, 6 months and 1 day. She was married to Wesley L. Childreth December 12th, 1893, and to them were born six children, one died in infancy and she leaves two daughters and three sons, her husband, father and mother, three brothers and one sister. She was converted at the age of fourteen and united with the Baptist church and has lived a consistent Christian life up to the day of her death. She came to Eagle Point in 1903 and since that time has been an active worker in the church, a regular attendant at prayer meetings, an active member of the W. C. T. U. and was universally beloved by those with whom she associated. The funeral services were conducted by the members of the Rebekah lodge of Eagle Point. The funeral sermon was preached by her pastor, Rev. L. L. Simmons in the church building and the interment was in the Central Point cemetery April 14th. There was a very large procession followed the remains to her last resting place. Her death has caused a vacancy hard to fill.
