   Sallie W. WALKUP was born August 19, 1874, in Adair county, Kentucky,
   and died at her home in Lasota, Texas, on Monday, June 27, 1927. She
   was united in marriage to Mr. John SHELTON on February 11, 1892. To
   this union were born eleven children. Mr. and Mrs. SHELTON moved to
   Oklahoma in 1899, where they lived until January 1927, when they moved
   to Lasota. Mrs. SHELTON had been in poor health for several years. She
   was a loving wife and mother, a true friend and neighbor. She was
   loved and respected by all who knew her. Her father and mother, Mr.
   and Mrs. O.G. WALKUP, and an infant son, Odem(?), preceded her to the
   grave. Mrs. SHELTON united with the Baptist Church at the age of
   fourteen.
   
   She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, four daughters, Mrs. Jennie
   ALLEN, Stella, six sons, O.W., R.D., Delton(?), Dewey, Buster and
   Quinton, brothers, L.G. and W.W. WALKUP.
   
   The funeral services were held at her old home nine and three quarters
   miles south of Elk City Thursday afternoon at 3:30, where a large
   crowd was gathered to pay their last respects to the loved one. Rev.
   MOSLEY assisted by Brother WICKARD conducted the funeral and the body
   was laid to rest in the Belleview Cemetery. Bro. MOSLEY paid a
   beautiful tribute to the life of the deceased. The funeral
   arrangements were in charge of Grubitz & Son.
   
   A precious one from us has gone, a voice we loved is still. A place is
   vacant in our house that never can be filled. We shall meet, but we
   shall miss her; there will be one vacant chair. We shall linger to
   caress her as we read our evening prayer. True, they tell us that a
   crown of glory shall ever deck her brow, but this soothes the anguish
   only, sleeping on our heartstrings now. We shall meet but we shall
   miss her, for she was the sunshine of our home.
