Mrs. G. W. Van Hooser was born in Polk county, Iowa, June 8, 1876 and died
Feb. 12, 1910, aged 33 years, 8 month and 4 days.  She was married on
Sept. 23, 1893 in Des Moines, Ia., to Mr. G. W. Van Hooser, to this union
one child was born which died in infancy.
For 14 years prior to her death she had been a sufferer, a previous
surgical operation failing to give relief.  Early in the week she went to
Shawnee for the purpose of another operation in the hope of being
permanently cured, but the surgeons found her condition much more serious
than was expected.  She died from the shock of the operation shortly after
being removed from the operating table.  Her remains were removed to
undertaking room for preparation for burial from there to the home of Mr.
Van Hooser's sister, Miss Emma Van Hooser on North Broadway.  On Monday
they were brought to her home at Erick for interment.  The train was met
by many sympathizing friends and relatives.  A short service was conducted
at the cemetery by Bro. T. J. Solomon.
There was no phase of the situation she had not discussed with her husband
and was resigned to her fate.  Many friends surrounded her last hours with
kindness and her bereaved husband is grateful for the many courtesies
shown him by friends and neighbors.  Miss Van Hooser and J. O. Lindley of
Elk City, sister and cousin of Mr. Van Hooser attended the funeral.
