"Obituary provided by Kenneth Roe; Mattie Louise baird was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa, April 7, 1857. She died December 7, 1929, at the age of 72 years and 8 months at the family home, 326 E. Louis., where they lived since retiring from the farm about 10 years ago.; She came to Kansas with her parents at the age of 4, settling in DeSoto, later moving to a farm between Prairie Center and DeSoto, where she grew to womanhood.; Louise was united in marriage to Henry Hessenflow, March 26th, 1883. To this union 5 children were born, Mrs. Ariel Moll, Mrs. Clara Bathol, Mrs. Margaret Moll and E. Hessenflow of Olathe and Rolland Hessenflow of Olathe and Rolland Hessenflow of Kansas City, Missouri, all of whom survive her as does her husband.; She united with the Methodist church at Bethel in 1892 and has always lived a Christian life, both before and since that time. Her first and foremost thought was always the comfort of others. A good friend to everyone has gone to her reward.; She leaves to mourn her loss her invalid husband, who she has devotedly cared for the past four years; One step-daughter, Mrs. Betha Bash of Olathe; two brothers, Ed Baird of California and one sister, Anna Owens of Aline, Oklahoma; 16 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, besides a host of friends.; To have to hold and the to part, Is the saddest thing for the humand heart, The shock was great, the pain severe, Altho we knew the end was near.; What is home with out you, mother? What are the joys we'll meet, Since your loving smile no longer Will greet the coming of our feet.; No thoughts of care and pressing, their furrows on your brow, But blame us not for weeping, For we have no mother now.; Wonderful wife, Mother, and aid, one who was better, God never made, One in a million, that Mother was you. And in our hearts your memory will linger, Tender, sweet, kind and true."
