De Soto Press - Friday, Feb. 18, 1921 (De Soto, MO)
Obituary: De Soto Press - Friday, Feb. 18, 1921
Miss Elizabeth Pullen
Called to Rest Last Week
On Thursday morning of last week the death angel called at the home of
Miss Elizabeth Pullen and took her from a life of labor here to a life of rest
beyond.
She and her brother had lived alone and very happily in our midst for
several years; but some months ago she contracted a lingering desease to which
she finally succumbed.
Miss Pullen was the daughter of James and Loretta Pullen. She was born
six miles south of De Soto, on Dec. 20, 1856. She became a member of the
Christian church on Sept 18, 1898. She lived a devoted christian life. She
died Thursday morning, Feb 10, 1921, aged 64 years, 1 month, and 21 days.
After a prayer at the residence, her funeral was conducted at the
Christian Church by the pastor, assisted by Rev. Wilkinson, pastor of the
Baptist church, of which her brother is a member.
She was beautifully dressed, as she herself had planned; and as her
friends viewed her remains, as she lay in the restful casket, she appeared as
one asleep.
She was laid to rest in a beautiful grave in the local cemetery. Many
floral tributes were in evidence. One could but say of her "Asleep in the
Arms of Jesus."

Additional Comments:
Elizabeth Pullen's brother is William Pullen. She is buried in the DeSoto
City Cemetery, Jefferson Co., MO, alongside her brother, who died later that
year.
