The recent death of Mrs. Chas. E. Scarlett took place at Bucklin, Kansas, at the age of 80 years and 2 months, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Warner. Mrs. Scarlett, who was Alida Ann Waldon, was born May 22nd, 1836, at Van Bureu, Onandago County, New York. At the age of 9 years she moved with her parents to Illinois, where at Warrenville, July 13th, 1858, she was married to Charles E. Scarlett, who died in 1871 at Denver, Colorado. Six children were born to this union, two dying in infancy, and one daughter died at Greenburg, Kansas in 1900. The surviving children are Mark [and?] Alfred Scarlett, of Goltry, Oklahoma; Charles [and?] Grant Scarlett at Hillsdale, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Estella Warner, of Bucklin, Kansas, and two step daughters, Mrs. Sweet of Florence, and Miss Elma Scarlett, of Ridgetown. In 1887 Mrs. Scarlett took up a claim just 12 miles out of Bucklin. She was, of course, well-known to all the early settlers. Being widowed while her children were all young, she had the entire care of their rearing and the financial responsibility as well. She was a strong, vigorous woman till recent years she had the heart trouble, which was the immediate cause of her death. She was very low last winter, and was thought she could not recover, but again rallied for several months. She had a firm belief in Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour, taught her children the Christian faith, encouraging them in all the church activities. The funeral was held from the home of Mrs. Warner, and burial made in Bucklin cemetery, the Rev. W. G. Baker conducted the services. Mrs. Scarlett's husband, Chas. E. Scarlett, was the eldest son of the late Alfred Scarlett, whose old home was that of which is now owned by Mr. Frank Black, River Road.
