MRS. SKINNER DIES AT HOME OF DAUGHTER

Bulah C. SKINNER, aged 74 years, wife of Geo. E. SKINNER, died Sunday, 
August 26, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. P. M. HOUSEMAN, at the 
Russell ranch near the city.  Interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery.
   Funderal services were held Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at 
Roberts' chapel, and were under the auspices of Oasis Rebekah Lodge No. 
31, deceased being a member of the Rebekah Lodge at Nyssa, Oregon.
   Bishop C. C. RONNOW of the Church of Latter Day Saints offered prayer 
and delivered impressive remarks.  Mrs. Bryan BUAKER at the organ, and a 
picked choir composed of Mrs. Ira EARL, Mrs. ZILLINS, Mrs. Sam CRANER, 
Miss Clarissa CRANER, Mrs. Roy NEAGLE and Mrs. Dan POTTER, rendered 
touching music.  P. W. RUSSELL sang a solo, and the funeral service of 
the Rebekah Lodge was then carried out under the direction of Mrs. Wm. 
E. MOTT, noble grand of the local lodge.  After services at the chapel 
the grave was dedicated by Bishop RONNOW.  The pall bearers were A. R. 
ANDERSON, Leonard CARSON, H. M. LILLIS, P. W. RUSSELL, Wm. E. MOTT and

California following their marriage, and for a number of years made 
their home in the northern part of that State, later removing to Oregon. 
 For the past several months, Mr. and Mrs. SKINNER had made their home 
with Mr. and Mrs. HOUSEMAN here.
