OBITUARY
Mrs. Velma Wilson was born in Texas, Nov. 13, 1886, her mother died when
she was very small.  The family moved to Oklahoma and for a number of
years lived near Canute.  She was married July 13, 1904 to Mr. Walter
Wilson, and to this union seven children were born, three girls and four
boys, all of whom are still living.  Mrs. Wilson was the daughter of Mr.
J. G. Reeder and was well known about Canute.  Mrs. Wilson departed this
life on Monday night December 15, 1919.  Funeral service was conducted in
the Methodist Church at Canute by Rev. R. R. Richey.  She was laid to rest
in the Canute cemetery (Washita County)l.
Mrs. Wilson was converted in early childhood, and although she never
united with any church, she continued in the Faith.  As a wife and mother
she was devoted to her family, untiring in her efforts bring sunshine and
happiness to her home; she was loved and respected by all who knew her. 
In the loss of his wife, Mr. Wilson has lost the mainstay of his home, as
there is no one who can take the place of a mother.
