formerly City Clerk at Elk City.  Because of this serious condition, J. B.

(19 Apr 1923, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
W. H. Winn returned Thursday from Fayette, Mo., where he had been called
because of the death of his mother.  He says she celebrated her birthday a
few days before her death and felt so well then and later called to the
neighbors who could not be there telling them what a fine time they had. 
She was sick only a day or so.  She had kept up a correspondence with him
until the week before her death, and her letters were written in splendid
hand and she never made a mistake in her spelling.  She had always enjoyed
such good health and always said she wanted to go without a lingering
sickness, and in this her wish was gratified.  She was a constant reader
of the News Democrat which she enjoyed every week.  Mr. Winn was deeply
touched by the kindness of the people in the old home, where she had lived
most of her life.  The floral offerings were beautiful and he appreciated
more than he could say the flowers sent there by the members of the
Christian Church of Elk City.
