We take this method of thanking Lincolnton friends for their very great

Additional Comments:
The deceased, Katherine Gertrude Williams, was my great-grandmother.  My 
grandmother was her daughter identified as Mrs. May Cooke.  This should be Mae 
Cook.  I have typed this with the same spelling and punctuation as the 
newspaper article.
