SCALES, ANN
(2 Nov 1922, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF AGED LADY
Mrs. Ann Scales died at the home of her son, R. A. Scales, on Sunday
night, aged 95 years, 3 months and 2 days.
Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church South on Monday afternoon,
Rev. DeVore officiating.  He said there was nothing he could say to add
more beauty, purity, holiness and righteousness than had been lived in the
life of Mother Scales.  She was one of the dearest women he ever met and
he never heard her say a single word against anyone.  She was always
speaking of the beautiful things in others.  She was so patient and good. 
Her life was a sermon in itself.
She was bon in North Carolina, July 28, 1827, and belonged to the first
families of that state.  She was a woman of high intelligence and
accomplished.  She was the mother of five children, two who survive, R. A.
Scales and a daughter, Miss Scales, who lived with her mother, also
several grandchildren, who loved her devotedly.
The News Democrat and their many friends extend deepest sympathy to the
bereaved ones.
