On Sunday, March 9, 1947, just as the shadows of the evening were blending into darker shades of night, death came to Cora Maude Harvey, daughter of Abram and Della Jackson Harvey. It was if she just said goodnight to earthy things that she might say a glad good morning to heavenly things in a land where there are no shadows. And with her passing a place is vacant in the home which cannot be filled and in the church and community, which will be hard to fill.
Cora was born in Montgomery County, Kansas, April 25, 1886 but the greater part of her life she lived in the old Harvey homestead south of Kingman. In the fall of 1941, she with her father and mother left the farm home and moved into Kingman. She was graduated from the Kingman High School with the class of 1906.
It became apparent early in her life that she had a special talent for music and her love for it became a dominant factor in her life. So to gain a better education along this line she spent some time in school at Danville, Ind. She taught music for many years and one of the last things she did was to give a music lesson to one of her students.
She belonged to the Friends Church at Rush Creek but was converted at Friends Union under the preaching of Louis L. Hadley. In her belief, she was steadfast, fervent and deeply conscientious and would make no compromise with the Truth as she saw and believed in it. She loved missionary work and not o nly belonged to the society at Rush Creek but also with one at the Kingman United Brethren Church. - thanks to S&E
