It was when the death angel came and severed the brittle cords of life which for 83 years have been developing more and more into that perfect life. Dollie Ann Litten (nee Coffey) was born in Ellisville, Monroe county, Ind., Jan. 25, 1831, and married to W. K. Litten Aug. 16, 1849, who preceded her to that world beyond in 1900. To this union were born nine children, seven survive. They are Victoria Best, Randlett, Okla., David A. Coffey, Maitland, MO., Jane Richardson, near Ravenwood, MO., Henry Litten, Woodard, Okla., Allie Linthacum, Ravenwood, MO., Temple C. Temple, Joel H. Litten. Besides these she leaves forty-nine grandchildren and forty-five great grandchildren. She was converted and joined the Baptist church early in girl-hood, to which she was ever a faithful and consistent member. Being among the early settlers to Missouri her experiences were not all pleasant. They came to the state in 1858. Though her illness was of a short duration and her suffering intense, she was rational up until almost the very last. Her life has been a constant blessing to the world and especially to those whom she came in direct contact with. She was a true friend, a faithful wife and a devoted and self-sacrificing mother. Before taking her departure she called her loved ones to her bedside, gave them the assurance that all was well with her and asked them not to grieve after her. Our loss is Heaven's gain and her delight. After loving hearts and kind hands had bestowed the last acts of kindness at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Phil Richardson, her remains were removed to the Monroe church, where very appropriate services were conducted by Rev. G. T. Andrews of Worth, MO., then her body was laid to rest in that cemtery to await the time when Christ shall come for his own at the resurrection of the just. Milton Coffey of Alanthus is a brother and Catharine Lyman a sister.
