HAMPTON, LENA
(30 Dec 1909, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, Ok)
Mrs. M. T. Hampton died Christmas morning about 3 o'clock after an illness
of about two weeks.  Her death was especially saddening in that she had
been a wife less than three months and the bereavement is perhaps harder
for her husband to bear.  As Miss Lena Rogers, Mrs. Hampton had been
endeared to the people of this community because of her unselfish devotion
to those whom she could help, always willing to sacrifice her own comforts
for the cause of the needy and afflicted she was in truth a sweet spirited
christian lady.  A devoted member of the Baptist church.  The funeral was
held at the church Christmas day.  Rev. Elder pronounced a beautiful
eulogy upon her life.  Interment was made in the Erick cemetery.  She is
survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. "Spy" Rogers, her brothers
Henry, Wilber and Rufe Rogers who live in this vicinity and others, Lee
and George Rogers of Brown county, Texas.  Her sister Mrs. Gus Korth who
formerly lived here and her bereft husband Mr. Mike T. Hampton.
