About Almira Fields Chouteau
From Chronicles of Oklahoma Volume 13, No. 4 December, 1935 NECROLOGY
MYRA WARE CHOUTEAU
1861-1935
Mrs. Myra Ware Chouteau was born near Richmond, Va., June 5, 1861, and died May 26, 1935, at Vinita, Okla. She was an old settler of Indian Territory, having moved to Vinita in the early eighties from Louisiana, Mo., her home after leaving Virginia.
Mrs. Chouteau's ancestors were among the first permanent English settlers in America. She was a direct descendant of Lord Thomas West De la Ware, first governor of Virginia, after whom the state of Delaware, the Delaware Indians, Delaware River and Delaware Bay were named. Ware church, one of the oldest parishes in Virginia, was established by others of the Ware family in 1862.
Mrs. Chouteau was the wife of Edmond Chouteau, a blind musician to whom she proved a lifelong helpmate. She was a devoted member of the Methodist church and her life was an exemplification of the high ideals that were her birthright. Because of her devotion to her family and her willingness to help those, around her, she became affectionately known as "Mother" Chouteau by those who knew her best.
Her death was caused by a heart ailment that troubled her for the last three years of her life. She is survived by two sons, Corbett Chouteau of Oklahoma City and Byron Chouteau of Vinita, as well as four sisters and two brothers. Another son, Lonnie, died in infancy.
