SIMPSON, MAUDE
(6 Oct 1921, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
MRS. F. W. SIMPSON DIES OF LOCKJAW.
Mrs. F. W. Simpson of this city suddenly became very sick the middle of
last week and soon developed lockjaw from which she never recovered.  She
grew worse gradually and was taken to the Elk City hospital Friday evening
where she died early Saturday morning.  The remains were shipped to Peru,
Indiana, the home of Mrs. Simpson's mother, for burial.
Mrs. Simpson had been a resident of our city about two years and had built
up a friendship among our people.  She was a member of the Baptist church
and a member of the local Rebekah lodge.  She leaves her husband and two
little girls to mourn her loss.
Mr. Simpson has the sympathy of the entire town in his bereavement.
