Obituary for Amelia Blackburn Upson Bellomy

Departed this life at the residence of her husband in Cherokee, Kansas, on May 29th, 1879, Amelia, consort of M. H. Bellomy; aged 39 years, 3months and 6 days. She was united in marriage in Macomb, Illinois, July 15th, 1874 and immediately started for her new home in Cherokee, Kansas, where she continued to reside till the time of her death. While here she united with and became a member in the Presbyterian Church and died in full faith in her Redeemer. She was a great sufferer for some months before she died, but bore it with patient resignation and still believed up to within a few days of her death that she should get well and was making preparations, as she thought to move to her new home at Elk Falls, Kansas, where her husband had just located.

She leaves a loving husband and two bright intelligent boys, Johnny and Ola Upson, children of her former marriage, who will remain with Mr. Bellomy, their attachment for him being so strong that it was deemed best not to separate them. She was a kind, indulgent mother and wife and leaves a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn her loss. The deceased was a sister to Mr. Robert Blackburn of Brooklyn, this county.
