Ola June Reeves was born near Asherville, Kansas, on April 16th 1876, her parents having emigrated from Kentucky, to Kansas, in the early pioneer days of 1869. She lived and grew to womanhood in the vicinity in which she was born, and was married to Arthur Chapel December 25th 1898. To this union three children were born. Stanley, born September 7th 1901, and died November 15th 1901. Harry Arthur and Helen June, both living at home.
Mrs Chapel and family moved to their farm in the Medicine Creek community in 1906, where she lived to the time of her death, August 25th, 1924.
Mrs. Chapel had been a sufferer in body for a long period of time and during all her illness she was cheerful and patient and regrets and remorse never seemed to come to her mind, a proof of a life that had been lived the best. She was a good mother, and untiring in her labors for her family and the people of her community. The Church will miss her willing efforts and the Ladies Aid Society will miss her greatly. Never once did she refuse when asked to help. Mrs. Chapel was tireless in her labors and always lived up to her ideals. She was "about her Father's business" She lived Christ's Kingdom here on earth. To sum up her life no greater eulogy can be given than the one the Master used when he said, "She hath done what she could."
Mrs. Chapel leaves to mourn their loss, her husband and two children, her mother, Mrs JD Reeves of Asherville, Kansas, her brother, Harry Reeves of Woodston, Kansas, her brother, Stanley Reeves of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, her sister, Mrs. Altha Green of Scottsville, Kansas, her sister Mrs. Leah Clanin of Jewell City, Kansas, her sister, Mrs. Commie Griffin of Pocatel, Idaho, her sister Mrs. Menta Nay of Philliipsburg, Kansas, and her twin sister, Mrs. Ida Hayhurst, whose hands in loving labor ministered to her in her last illness.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Methodist church, conducted by Rev RR Braddick of Glen Elder, and the body was laid to rest in the Woodston Cemetery.
