JOHN W. STANDIFERD
*Contributed by Deborah

Emporia, Lyon Co., Kansas; d. November
12, 1927 (Newspaper Unknown)
"And I heard a
voice from heaven saying. Write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth. Yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors
and their works do follow them".
The Almighty Father has in his Divine providence called another of our early
pioneer settlers in the person of John W. Standiferd who answered the roll
call and entered into his rest and heavenly home early last Saturday
morning.
John W. Standiferd was the son of James and Mariah (Hunter) Standiferd and
was born on October 28th 1852 at Jamestown, Ohio, departed this life at the
Newman Memorial Hospital at Emporia, Kansas, November 12th 1927, age 75
years and 15 days.
When but two years of age he with his parents moved to Bloomington,
Illinois, where they resided for 13 years. They heard and heeded the call of
the great western country and in 1867 the family came to Kansas locating for
about a year at Lawrence and from which place they came to Arvonia; here
they remained until death called them home, and here John W. Standiferd
spent the remainder of his earthly life.
On December 30, 1883 he was married to Mary Traylor, this union was of short
duration lasting but six months when death broke up the home. She departing
on June 30, 1884.
On March 7, 1888 he was married to Mary Jane Griffiths. To this union was
born one daughter and six sons: Leila May, Elza Griffith, Owen James, John
Harvey, William Richard, Hugh Thomas, and Lawrence Clifford, all of whom
were at the bedside at the time of his passing, except John Harvey who
preceeded his father to the great beyond several years
ago.
He leaves in deep sorrow, the wife and mother, six children and fourteen
grand children. Besides these he leave one sister and two brothers, Mrs. (Margaret)
Horatio Gates Landes, and David James Standiferd of Reading, Kansas, and
Thomas Harvey J. Standiferd of Topeka, Kansas.
Nothing that my be written can add any glory or praise to the record of a
long, clean, consistent Christian life that our departed brother has left
behind him. He was an upright and honorable citizen, an ideal friend and neighbor and
above all a kind and loving husband and father and grandfather, one who
loved his family in the true sense of the word, and who in turn was loved
dearly.
Everything that loving hands and medical skill could do, was done for him in
his last illness, but God took him. "Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints". He united with the Presbyterian church 22 years ago and was faithful to his
vows to the end.
We miss thee from our home, dear:
We miss three from thy place.
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss three everywhere.
A large concourse of friends winded their way to the Standiferd home Monday
afternoon to pay their last respects to their friend and neighbor, J.
W. Standiferd. After prayer, offered by Rev. J.G. Williams and a short song
service at the home the procession adjourned to the Presbyterian church in
Arvonia where Rev. W.W. Carnine, his pastor opened the service with prayer
and scripture reading from Psalm 23; Psalm 24:4; Psalm 27; John 14:4. After
this his former pastor, Rev. J.G. William of Del Norte, Colorado, conducted
a sermon which was full of sympathy and yet which would help to heal the
wounds layed bare in the hearts of his loved ones by Grim Reaper, death.
Beautiful songs of comfort such as: "No Night There", "Abide
With Me", and "It is Well With My Soul", were sung by a
quartette composed of Mrs. Jake Jones, Mrs. Richard Edwards, Mr. D.M. Hughes
and Mr. Will Lowman, Mr. Hughes sang that beautiful song, "Face to
Face".
At the close of the service the procession winded its way to the Arvonia
Cemetery where the body was consigned to mother earth to await the great day
of judgment.
The pall bearers were: Ario Mochamer, Lewis Olson, J.W. Wallace, P.K. Davis,
J.C. Booth and Evan Jones. The Enterprise joins the many friends in
extending sympathy to the bereaved family.

IN MEMORIAM
Lucretia Jane (Standiferd) Bixler. Died December 11, 1921.
Aged Seventy-two Years, Nine Months and Six Days
Lucretia Jane (Standiferd) Bixler was born in Sagamon County,
Ohio, near Zanesville, July 25th, 1849. When four years old her parents, James
and Maria (Hunter) Standiferd, moved to McLean County, Illinois, near
Bloomington, where they resided 12 years, when they migrated to Kansas,
settling on the Marias Des Cygnes River, south of Topeka, the nearest frontier
town. Two years thereafter married George Noel Bixler, October 25th, 1868;
near their home, the town of Arvonia, Osage County, was located. Here was born
to them Annie Page Newcomb, now of Clinton, New York; Nettie Belle Eaton,
Covington, Oklahoma; Cora Alice Wickes, Houston, Texas; Emma May Thompson,
Logan, Beaver County, Oklahoma; and Maria Caroline Bond, Holland Pattent, New
York. Thence they moved from Osage to Sumner County to Salt City, now known as
Geuda Springs, where Earl Noel, their only son, was born, now
living near Follette, Texas; Pearl Wible, the youngest child, Wenatchee,
Washington, was born at Arkansas City, Kansas. On the opening of old Oklahoma
to settlement they located 5 l-2 miles east and south of Dover, Kingfisher
County, where they resided until 1901, when they went west again to Beaver
County, Oklahoma, and from there to Waukomis, where they
have lived till her death, December 11, 1921, from a general decline and
breaking down, hastened by a severe attach of influenza; aged 72 years, nine
months and six days.
She was of a genial and happy nature, always cheerful and hopeful, even when
laboring under stress of privation and hardship, which was incident to a life
on the frontier of the west and southwest, and the passing from this life to
the great unknown beyond was like falling to sleep of an infant. A short
funeral service was held at the family home here Tuesday morning, conducted by
Rev. H.L. Price, and the remains taken to Dover for interment in the cemetery
there.
Besides her husband, Comrade Bixler, there is left to mourn her
death, seven children, 23 grand children, 14 great-grandchildren.

Across the brooding silence of the years,
There comes a sweet face all wet with tears;
That sweet girlish face has cast a spell,
Around my heart that time cannot dispell.
Strange! at this sad day the dreams will cling,
To melodies, from fancies vibrant string;
That memory should treasure that caress,
From echoes of a heart's deep loneliness.
And yet, I would not have the dream depart,
Or have thy cheek else, near my heart
If I could bridge these silent years,
And kiss again that face tho' wet with tears,
Better it is to wear the facial mask,
When sorrow oe'r your heart has passed;
Than place your grief for the world to stare,
At the dead hopes depicted there.

of September 4, 1957 at the age of 94 years, 3 months and 19 days.
In 1870 at about seven
years of age she came to Kansas with her parents and lived with them on the
homestead north of Arvonia until she grew to young womanhood.
She joined the Arvonia
Calvinistic Methodist church at the age of 13. This Church was located in
the second story of the old stone school house which still stands. This
church later became, and is now know as the Arvonia Presbyterian church.
Her father and family were music lovers and together they
formed an excellent family choir with Mary Jane as organist. This custom was
carried on in later years with her own family. In her earlier years she
liked nothing better than to have her children gather
around her at the organ and sing the old Welsh hymns. Four of her sons made
up a quartette which was known for it's excellent harmony and fulfilled many
requests.
On March 7, 1888 she was
united in marriage to John W. Standiferd. To this union seven children were
born, one daughter and six sons, Leila Mae, Elza Griffith, Owen James, John
Harvey, William Richard, Hugh Thomas and Lawrence Clifford. Her husband and
two sons preceded her in death. Her son, John "Harvey", passed
away June 19, 1913 at the age of 20 years, her husband on November 12, 1927
and her son, William Richard, on October 22, 1953.
She leaves to mourn her
departure one daughter; Mrs. Leila Jones, of Lebo, four sons, Elza, Hugh and
Lawrence of Osage City, and Owen of Lebo, eighteen grandchildren and thirty
great-grandchildren, all of whom remain as living examples of her Christian
teachings. A host of other relatives and friends will mourn her passing.
Mrs. Standiferd was of
Welsh heritage, both of her parents having been born in Wales. She also was
the last of a family of six children. The two brothers and three sisters who
have preceded her in death were Richard
Griffiths, Hugh Griffiths, Mrs. (Margaret) C.E. Pickens, Mrs.
J.T. (Annie) Griffiths and Mrs. (Hannah) Dedrich Schlobohm.
For many years Mrs.
Standiferd has been an invalid but before the infirmities of age came upon
her, her's was the life of a pioneer mother devoted to her family, church
and community and with perfect trust in the teachings of our Lord.
Dearest Mother, thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel;
But it's God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
When the day of life has ended
We shall find our loved one
In our Father's mansion fair.
