Vineyard, died at the home of her son, John Vineyard, northeast of Carter on Saturday, August 16, 1924. The death of Mrs. Vineyard was not unexpected as her husband and children had known for some time that all they could do for her was to make her last days as pleasant as possible, and this they did with the kind assistance of neighbors and friends. Mrs. Vineyard had been a resident of this country for a long time having first moved here over twenty years ago. She had lived a long and useful life, and leaves a devoted family and a host of friends who deeply sympathize with them in their hour of sorrow. The remains were laid to rest in the Retrop cemetery (Washita County) on Sunday following her death. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors for their kind assistance in helping to care for our dear wife and mother during her long illness, and for the assistance rendered and kind words of sympathy upon her death. The many acts of kindness and the true affections that were shown will be long remembered by us. Wm. Vineyard. Mrs. John Manning and family. Mrs. Will Taylor and family. Mrs. Sam Gross and family. John Vineyard and family. Wade Vineyard and family. Mrs. Sam Meadows and family. Mrs. H. Rider and family. Earnest Vineyard. --------------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ok/beckham/beckham.htm
