BROOKS, MARY M.

aged 73 years, 2 months and 22 days.
She was married to H. A. Brooks in 1863, and has three children all living
and having families.  Her son, O. D. Brooks, lives at Anadarko and it was
with him that she was making her home at the time of her death.  Her two

always shown a forgiving spirit.  Though she had many troubles she always
bore them without mumuring or complaint.  (Note:  Same obituary repeated
