S. BILDERBACK Mrs. H. S. Bilderback, who has been seriously ill for more than three months, passed away last Sunday morning at the family residence on West Third Street. Besides the family at home there were present a son, Chester C. Bilderback of Colorado Springs, Colo, and his family; a sister, Miss Lucy Pogue of Hale Center, Texas; and another sister, Mrs. E. C. Orbison and her family of Olustee, Okla. Mrs. Bilderback was a member of the First Christian Church and a most loyal and efficient worker in several of its departments. She made a host of friends in her less than two years residence in Elk City. Her disposition was kind and she ever lived to serve humanity; especially was she interested in boys. In her Bible school work she was able to accomplish much good along this line. The funeral was held from the First Christian Church on Monday morning at ten o'clock, the local minister in charge. The auditorium was beautifully decorated with the many floral gifts from the family and friends. Many friends were present to pay their respect to one whom they honored.
