Obituary for Elizabeth Seibert Huntley, from the Caruthersville "Twice-A-Week Democrat" of April 25, 1916, p. 2 Mrs. Elizabeth Huntley passed away suddenly at her home on Ward Avenue at an early hour Saturday morning. She leaves three sons, William, Charles and Almore, and three daughters, Mrs. Emma Powell, Mrs. Del Longgrear of Farmington and Mrs. James McDaniel [this is an error; should read "Mrs. James McDonald"] of Cape Girardeau. She also leaves twenty grandchildren. Mrs. Huntley was 69 years of age and had resided in Caruthersville many years, where she was loved by those who knew her best, and respected by all. The funeral service was conducted at the late residence at 1:30 Sunday by Rev. Setzer of the Baptist church, her own pastor, Rev. Orear being out of the city. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Obituary for Elizabeth Seibert Huntley, from the Caruthersville "Pemiscot Argus" of April 27, 1916, p. 4 Mrs. Elizabeth Huntley died quite suddenly at her home in this city early Saturday morning, April 22 of heart disease. She had retired the previous evening in apparently her usual health, but, about 3:30, called her son, Almore. Before he could summon Mrs. Tistadt, next door, to her assistance, she had passed away. Funeral services were conducted at 1:30 Sunday afternoon by Rev. W. H. Setzer, of the Baptist Church, who officiated in the absence of the Methodist minister, following which she was laid to rest in Little Prairie Cemetery. Mrs. Huntley was a native of Germany, having been born there November 15, 1856 [this is an error, copied directly from the death certificate, it appears; the correct date should read "November 15, 1846" - although this was the date of christening, not the birth date, according to records of the Catholic Church in Birkenhoerdt], and being 69 years, 5 months and 17 days old. She came to the United States when she was quite small. At Duquoin [should read "DuQuoin"], Ill.,in July, 1865, she was united in marriage to Henry H. Huntley of which union six children yet survive, Charlie, Will and Almore, sons, and Mrs. Emma Powell, Mrs. Del Longrear of Bismarck and Mrs. J. T. McDonald of Cape Girardeau, daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Huntley came to Caruthersville about 1870, she having lived here forty-six years. She had been a faithful member of the Methodist Church for forty-five years and was well known as a sincere Christian and a devoted mother. Her loss will be felt not only by her children and grandchildren, but by her many friends, to all of whom we extend our sincere sympathy.
