© Alex Tribune Alex, Oklahoma Friday, October 26, 1923 Malissa Ann [Coppenbarger] Alcorn February 1, 1866 ~ October 23, 1923 Mrs. Melissa Alcorn Passes Away in Alex Mrs. Melissa Copenbarger Alcorn died at the home of her sister Mrs. Joe Elliott Tuesday night after many weary weeks of suffering from cancer. She was taken severely ill at her home near Lindsay some time ago and was taken to a hospital in Chickasha, where she underwent an operation hoping to find relief, but not so and the family was informed that it would be only a matter of time when the end should come. She was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Elliott, of Alex where she was given every attention that loving hands and sisterly thoughtfulness could devise, until her sufferings were removed by the hand of death. She was born in Missouri in 1866 and removed to Texas with her parents when about 12 years of age. Later she came to the Indian territory and was married to Alan Sizemore. To them were born three sons all of whom were present at her funeral. She was later married to W. D. Alcorn who died at the Elliott home about two years ago, having taken very ill after coming there for a visit, although he had been an invalid for several years. About 37 years ago she gave her heart to God and united with the Methodist church she expressed herself as ready and willing to go when her Lord should call. The funeral services were held at the Elliott home Wednesday, conducted by Rev. L. R. Jones, pastor of the Methodist church and the remains were laid to rest in the Morris Cemetery. |

For the last week her condition had been serious and no hopes were held out by the attending physician. She suffered greatly and was unconscious much of the time the last few days. She was converted during the recent meeting at the Missionary church but was too ill to be baptized at the close of the meeting. The funeral services were held at the Missionary Baptist church Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock conducted by Rev. Eugene Foster and burial was made in the Morris Cemetery east of Alex. She is survived by her husband and 8 children one baby 10 months old, her mother and step father Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Lancaster, three half brothers and 1 half sister. Relatives attending the funeral from out of this community were: Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Wilson and child from Tucumcari, New Mexico, Mr. and Mrs. Will Lancaster, Sterling, Okla., Mrs. Belle Milligan, Duncan and Mrs. Mary Kelly, Rush Springs. Everyone extends sympathy to this family in the loss of their wife and mother. Note: The "accepted" family spelling is SYZEMORE; however, you will find the family sometimes listed as "Sizemore" also. Bertha Syzemore's obit confirms her burial in the Alex Cemetery but her grave location is unknown and no original stone was found for her in the cemetery. |
