The funeral service for Minnie Saxe, wife of R. E. Saxe, were held at the home on Frisco Avenue Saturday morning. Rev. S. F. Stevens, of the Methodist Episcopal church had charge of the service and preached a short funeral sermon. A large number of sorrowing friends and relatives attended the funeral, the house and lawn being crowded with people. There was a profusion of flowers and floral emblems, the display being very beautiful.
Interment was made in the Peirce[sic] City cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. Clark Kerr, John McGrath, Fred Salzer, Roy Beaty, Chas. Beebe and Ed Salzer, These young men were members of a camping party chaperoned by Mrs. Saxe this summer.
Minnie Houtenhaur[sic] was born at Washburn, October 28, 1870. Her parents died when she was a small child, and she was reared by her grandmother, Mrs. Frost.
She was married to R. E. Saxe in December 1980. She was the mother of three children, Wilma, Lee and Dorothy. She also took the place of a mother to her step-son and daughter, Gene Saxe and Mrs. A. G. Murphy, who were small children when she became he wife of R. E. Saxe.
Mrs. Saxe died September 14, 1910, her death being caused, supposedly, by an electric shock sustained when using an electric iron.
The death of Mrs. Saxe is mourned by a large circle of friends. She was of genial disposition and made friends where ever she went. Her untimely death was a great shock to the community. Mrs. Saxe was prominent in society circles and was an esteemed member of the Knights and Ladies of Security Lodge, of which she had been secretary for several years.
The sorrowing friends and relatives have the sincere sympathy of all.
