SKIPPER, DONA
(22 Jun 1905, Erick Newspaper, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. C. H. Skipper died Tuesday morning of consumption, after a lingering
illness of several months.  Mrs. Skipper, formerly Miss Dona Reynolds, was
only 26 years of age and married less than two years ago.  Her husband
survives her.  She was a member of the Missionary Baptist church.  Funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Galbraith and Mrs. Skipper was laid to
rest in Erick cemetery yesterday morning.  Although comparatively
strangers here, Mr. and Mrs. Skipper have made many warm friends who mourn
her death and sympathize with him in his bereavement.
(22 Jun 1905, Erick Enterprise, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Died, at her home in this place on last Tuesday morning after several
months of affliction, Mrs. Dora (sic) Skipper, wife of J. C. (sic)
Skipper, who moved here last winter.  She was a consumptive, from which
she had suffered continuously and death came, no doubt, as a relief.  Her
remains were interred in the Erick cemetery yesterday at about 12'clock. 
Rev. Galbreath (sic), a Presbyterian minister held the funeral services
and her remains laid away by kind sympathising hands.  She leaves a
husband here and a sister at Sayre to mourn her departure.  The entire
community deeply sympathise with the bereaved.
