Obituaries (transcriptions found on Findagrave.com memorial)

From the Muskogee Phoenix, July 11, 1889[1]
Mrs. Sixkiller had been quite ill for several months and it became apparent quite a time since, that death was gradually approaching. Everything that loving friends and family could do for her comfort and ease was done with willing hands and after her death, sweetly resigned to an inevitable fate, trusting implicitly in the promise of her redeeming Savior, and while to use the fact that she must need be taken from her children, and they by her death became orphans, and that with one daughter prostrated upon a bed of sickness, seems doubly severe affliction, yet it was God's will, and His way is the right way, however shrouded in inexplicable mystery it may seem to us, and it is but our duty and privilege to calmly yield to His mandates however poignant with grief may seem the affliction, which is His Divine mercy and grace He seems fit to lay upon us.

Fannie leaves six children and hosts of relatives and friends, many of whom had known her for years, and all of whom testify to her excellent Christian character, loving and kind disposition. She mourned the murder of her husband until her last breath was taken.

From the Cherokee Advocate, January 5, 1887[2]
Mrs. Fannie Sixkiller was the wife of the late Samuel Sixkiller, who met his match two years ago this Christmas. The Rev. T. F. Brewer officiated at the funeral in the Methodist Church, and she was laid to rest in the Muskogee City Cemetery.
