OBITUARY


Houston Herald, Texas Co. MO; 16 Nov 1950

Susan D. Fugate

Susan D., daughter of Wm. G. and Drucilla McConnell, was born July 25, 1858, in Scott County, Virginia, and on October 31, 1950, she peacefully departed this life at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. H, Rimel. She had reached the advanced age of 92 years, three months and six days.

On November 30. 1882, she was united in marriage to Thomas E. Fugate, of Russell County, Virginia. To this union seven children were born, namely, William H., Drucilla J., and Martha L., who died in early childhood.

Those left to mourn her departure are Mrs. Lucy Rimel, Elk Creek; Thomas K. Fugate, Meadville, Mo.; James C. Fugate, address unknown, and Frances C. Fugate, Nevada, Mo.; also 14 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, one sister-in law, several nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

Mrs. Fugate was preceded in death by her husband February 13, 1920.

She was converted at an early age and united with the Methodist Church in Nickelsville, Va., transferring her membership to Steely's Chapel Methodist Church at Elk Creek, Mo., August 31, 1896, and remained steadfast, loyal and true to this faith. She attended services when possible until about 2 1/2 years ago when she was no longer able to go.

She was a kind, loving mother, grandmother and neighbor, always ready to help care for the sick or anyone in need of help. No night was too cold or too dark for her, if someone called for her assistance.

After the death of her husband she and her daughter, Frances, lived together for several years. She then gave up her home and has lived with her son, T. K. Fugate, and her daughter, Lucy Rimel. For almost two years she has been with Mrs. Rimel, who has been her constant companion and who has given her time and strength to give her aged mother the best care and attention possible.

"Grandma" will be greatly missed in the home and by her many friends.

Her life was not always sunshine and happiness. She has experienced griefs and heartaches but did not falter or lose faith in her Master, to whom she always went for comfort and strength. She willingly carried her cross and patiently bore her burdens. Her greatest desire was to hear her Master's call and had so often remarked that she was ready and waiting to go. So a noble and useful life has come to a close.

Funeral services were held at Steeley's Chapel Church November 3, 1950, conducted by Rev. Payton Smyer, in the presence of a large gathering of friends. Beautiful flowers showed the high esteem in which she was held.

Songs that were rendered by the choir were "Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me," and "Where We'll Never Grow Old." Special, "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be," by Wayne Grisham, accompanied by Mrs. Opal McKinney. These three songs were favorites of Mrs. Fugate.

Burial was in the Price cemetery where her husband and two
children rest, and was under the direction of the Elliott Funeral Home.

Pallbearers were Eli Byrd, Eckle Fulk, Carl Fugate, Lawrence Fugate, J. H. Rimel and Verle Rimel.
