   Services  for Mrs. Eliza Jane Dykes were conducted Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
   in the Pentecostal Holiness Church, with Rev. Albert T. Trent, Hobart,
   officiating.   Burial  was  in  Kiowa  Cemtery,  Roger  Mills  County,
   Oklahoma.
   Eliza  Jane  Hall was born at Carter, Ky., on March 13, 1873; departed
   this  life  on  April 12, 1951 in the hospital at Clinton, Oklahoma at
   the age of 78 years.
   On  March  18, 1892 she was united in marriage to Henry Clay Dykes. To
   this  union were born twelve children, six of them having preceded her
   in death. Her husband passed away August 25, 1933.
   She  leaves  to  mourn  her  passing  four  sons, Rubin Dykes, Samora,
   Calif.;  Bob  Dykes,  Vancouver, Washington; Ted Dykes, Borger, Texas;
   Clay  Dykes,  Skellytwon, Texas; two daughters, Mrs. Hannah A. Bender,
   Arcata,  California  and  Mrs.  Ella  McWhorter,  Amarillo,  Texas; 23
   grandchildren;  7  great  grandchildren, 1 great great grandson, and a
   host of other relatives and friends.
   Mrs. Dykes became a Christian at the age of twelve; in 1902 she became
   a  member  of  the  Pentecostal  Holiness  Church, and lived a devoted
   Christina life. In most every service she would request prayer for her
   children.  She  was  a kind and loving mother; and a friend to all who
   knew her.
   Her  greatest  desire in life was that she might bring a little ray of
   sunshine to those she met.
