© The Verden News Verden, Oklahoma June 1, 1934 August 28, 1871 ~ May 29, 1934 Essa Jane Bruce was born August 28, 1871 in Kentucky; she departed from this earth Tuesday morning at 4:20 o'clock, May 29, 1934 at her home in Verden. She was 62 years, 9 months and 1 day at her passing. Mrs. Bruce became seriously ill seven weeks ago when she was stricken with paralysis, but for years had been in declining health. None ever entered her home without feeling the warmth of a genuine hospitality. Disease did not destroy the charm of a kind indulgent disposition, she was always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need ~ both in acts of kindness and in words. She had always a smile and a pleasant word for her friends. Vain is any attempt to measure the loss of a mother to her children; after all the poets have sung and lovers dreamed, outside of heaven there is no love like mother-love. At the age of 22, she was united in marriage to Clifford Beckenridge Bruce and to this union 8 children were born, 5 of which are still living; they are: Gilbert Paul Bruce of Anadarko, Russel and Roy Bruce of Verden, Mrs. Allyne Sanford of Lincoln, Nebr., and Mrs. Hazel Duvoll of Anadarko. Besides her husband and children she leaves one brother, T. W. Paul of Kingfisher, three neices, Mrs. Lee Pile, Mrs. Frieda Aiken and Mrs. Grace Quiggins all of Kingfisher; 5 nephews, Carl Piarns, Lee Bill Buttler and P. M. Paul, all of Oklahoma City, other relatives and a host of friends. Mrs. Bruce has been a consecrated Christian for many years, was converted and joined the Baptist church on October 12, 1903. Since 1922 she has attended the Assembly of God church of which she was a regular attendant until ill health forced her to stay at home. The funeral was held at 3:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the family home with Rev. Roy Steiger of Anadarko officiating. Interment was made in the Verden cemetery. |
