ADDINGTON, DELAMAYE
(19 Mar 1920, Friday, Elk City Press, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
SAD DEATH.
The death of Mrs. W. J. Addington of Hammon, last Tuesday night, was very
sad to her many friends and relatives.  She was a sister of H. D. Cobb of
this city, and her uncles and aunts, S. L. Galloway and wife of Watonga,
and D. E. Galloway and wife of Oklahoma City and Mrs. Fannie McCall of
Norman, and other near relatives were there and witnessed her passing
away.
Mrs. Addington, although knowing she must die soon, was very happy to the
last and always spoke cheerfully of the future with her maker.
Her death was due to influenza which she contracted about a month ago,
before the birth of a baby boy, who is now doing well, and she died of
blood poisoning eight days after child birth.
The funeral was held at Hammon Wednesday afternoon.
Besides the baby, she left three children and her husband.
Mr. and Mrs. Cobb brought the baby here to take care of it and keep it
under the doctor's care.  Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Galloway of Watonga will
likely adopt the baby.
