Mrs. Kate Pearl Conley—nee Miss Kate Bedford—died in Fort Worth, January 16, 1923. The remains were brought here and interred in the family yard at the Matagorda Cemetery two days later. Her sister, Mrs. Jessie Martin of Victoria, accompanied the casket upon which several boxes of exquisite florals were placed by sympathizing friends in Fort Worth. Mrs. Conley had been here, the month previous to her death, nursing her invalid mother and while in that capacity became ill (she had suffered with a chronic malady for some time) and she went home and prepared for a much needed operation—a chance as it were—but alas! the slender threads of her life snapped and before any of her relatives could reach her bedside she had passed into that long sleep that knows no awakening here. Mrs. Conley was born in Matagorda in November, 1882, and called this her home until some time after her marriage. She had lived in Fort Worth for the past seven years. Fully realizing her serious condition she partook of the sacred rites, the Lord’s Supper before going on the operating table. She was a good woman and always trying to do good and was a devout member of the Episcopal faith. Upon arriving here the casket was placed in the Episcopal Church, in which she had worshipped the greater part of her life, and rested there until time for the funeral obsequies. There being no Episcopal minister at that time, Rev. G. T. Storey, the Presbyterian minister of Bay City, a favorite of the family, was called upon to officiate and his tribute to the departed one was very beautiful. Their friends here sympathize with the bereft ones in their great loss. Surviving are her mother, Mrs. Amelia Bedford; two sisters, Mrs. Jessie Martin of Victoria and Mrs. H. P. Baxter of Matagorda; two brothers, W. E. and George Bedford of this place, and several nieces and nephews.
