Mrs. Frances Meador Rush, 1432 Ellis, Wichita, passed away at Wichita on Sept. 18, 1961, at the age of 69 years, 7 months and 11 days.

The family moved to Wichita in 1947.

Mrs. Rush is survived by her husband the three children and by a brother, Lee Meador of Larned; and three grandsons, Ronald Gooden, David Lee Rush and Richard Alan Rush. Mrs. Rush was a lifelong active member of the Methodist church. From the church of this faith at Garfield her funeral services were conducted by the Rev.

Spouse: George Bryant GARDNER. Elizabeth Lucina MECHAM and George Bryant GARDNER were married on 4 June 1857 in Salt Lake City, Salt lake, Utah.

Elizabeth Lucina MECHAM was born on 27 February 1836 in Delaware, Mercer, Pennsylvania. She died on 17 November 1903 at the age of 67 in Grantsville, Tooele, Utah. She was buried in Grantsville, Tooele, Utah. BIOGRAPHY: Elizabeth Lucina Mecham was the third child and first daughter of Joshua Mecham and Lucina Harmon. She was born at Delaware, Mercer, PA. Her brothers were Daniel Mecham and Lorenzo Dow Mecham. The brothers were born at Springfield, Erie, PA. There may have been other children whose names are not known at this time. Joshua and Lucina Mecham followed the Latter-day Saints from Springfield to Kirtland, OH in the early 1830s. They probably left Kirtland with the group called Kirtland Camp about 1838 and stayed over at Springfield, Illinois with the sick and inform. Joshua's parents (the Mechams) and several of Lucina's brothers (the Harmons) also stopped at Springfield, Illinois to recover from illness and find work in order to earn money to join the Saints at a later date. Joshua was one of those who were sick and he passed away on 8 Mar 1840. Elizabeth Lucina was just four years old when her father died. The Harmon family was a very close-knit family as were the Mechams. They saw to it that Lucina and her children were able to travel to Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois with them. They were there by 1842. In 1844, Elizabeth Lucina's mother married her father's brother, Joseph Mecham. However, on 5 Oct 1845, Lucina died leaving her little daughter an orphan at the age of 9 years. Also in 1845, Joseph Mecham passed away.
It is unknown who cared for this motherless little girl.

MARRIAGE: Live was difficult for Elizabeth Lucina Mecham, as she was orphaned at the age of nine. She was married in polygamy at the age of 17--to a man nearly twice her age; and this marriage lasted less than two years. Her second marriage was also into a polygamous family at the age of 18 and this second husband was 24 years older than Elizabeth. Again, she was unhappy in this situation and divorced her husband. He took their child, a son, and moved to Ferron, UT. Elizabeth married a third time--again in polygamy.to a man 23 years her senior. Together they had four children--at a time when there was incredible persecution of the polygamous families. Probably to escape some of the persecution and to keep as much of his family together as possible, George moved to Arizona. Elizabeth divorced him and remained in Utah with relatives helping her with her young family. When she married again, it was to a younger man. There is much discrepancy as to the age of Levi Bectel. Some records say he was born in 1856, but census records show that it was between 1847 and 1836. So, he was either about 10 years younger or just a year younger than Elizabeth. Together, they had four children. About 12 years after Elizabeth and Levi's youngest child was born, Levi married Elizabeth's daughter, Hannah Gardner! Hannah was about 15 or 16 years old at the time of this marriage. This did not cause a rift in the family as Elizabeth continued living with them and is listed on the census records as Levi's "mother-in-law."
