MRS G. PONCIN
Mattie Lucinda Cheek. was born September 12, 1852, and departed this life May 19, 1943, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. B. F. Black with whom she made her home. She was the daughter of Page and Sallie Wagner Cheek and was the youngest of a family of seven children, all having preceded her to the great beyond.
She was united in marriage to Godfrey Nicholas Poncin October 16, 1883, who preceded her in death five years ago. To this union three children were born, Virgil Frederick Poncin, Mrs. S. H. Sutherland and Mrs. B. F. Black, all of whom live in Windsor.
She is also survived by three grandchildren, Vivian Harris Sutherland of Langley Field, Va., Virginia Bee Poncin of Windsor and Mrs. Annetta Black Miller of Sedalia, and one great grandchild, Myrna Lee Miller of Sedalia.
She united with the Methodist Church at the age of 21 years, but living far from church in her younger years, and in frail health later in life, she was unable to attend as she would have liked. She studied the word, having read her Bible through many times and getting much pleasure and comfort in so doing. She lived in the country all her life with the exception of the last five years. She had many good friends and neighbors and derived much pleasure in being a good neighbor in return.
The funeral service was held Friday afternoon at the Funeral Home conducted by Rev. E. H. Michalkowsky of the Windsor Baptists Church assisted by G. L. Weidman minister of the Windsor Christian Church.
Burial was in Laurel Oak Cemetery.
