                       DEATH OF MISS EMMA SKINNER
 
       Daughter of Mrs. W. E. Skinner Passed Away Sunday Evening
                         After Illness of a Week

Emma Skinner passed away Sunday evening, Dec. 14, 1924, at 9:30 o'clock,
after only a week's illness.

She was born in Osage 37 years ago and during that time she and her aged
mother have been inseparable companions.  Her health had been such that
she was unable to take an active part in activities outside her home and
this drew mother and daughter very close together.  Her first words in
the morning when she awakened were, "How are you mother; did you rest
will last night?" and a few days before her death noticing her mother's
weariness she commented on it, showing how anxious she was in spite of
her own weakness.  Her disposition was especially kindly.

Her brother Roy of Vinton came Monday and Ben of Maplewood, N. J. and
Henry of Muskogee, Okla., arrived yesterday noon.

The funeral will be conducted at the home this afternoon by her pastor,
Rev. W. T. Smith of the M.E. church and burial was in our cemetery.
