COULSON, IDA
(7 Jun 1923, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Obituary.
Mrs. Ida Coulson, daughter of J. R. Richardson, was born at Mangum, Greer
County, April 9th, 1891.  She was married to Earl Coulson December 19th,
1909.  Born to this union one son, J. R. Coulson.
She departed this life May 31st 1923.  She leaves a husband and son, a
father and mother, two sisters and one brother to mourn her departure. 
Two brothers and two sisters have preceeded her to the other world.  She
was converted at the age of twelve years and joined the Methodist church
at that time.
The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, assisted by Rev. W. R.
Gibble of the Christian church.  The Odd Fellows and Rebecca lodges did
her honor by attending the services in a body.  The floral offering was
profuse.  We laid her remains to rest in the Doxey-Sayre cemetery.
Mrs. Coulson had been able to fill her usual position in the Diamond C
stores up to a few days before, although in poor health which resulted in
her undergoing a surgical operation early in the week, from which she
never really rallied, her death coming at 11 o'clock Thursday.  Mrs.
Coulson was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Richardson of this city, and
had spent by far the greater portion of her life in Sayre, and while
clerking in the Tapp and Diamond C stores had gained a wide acquaintance
among the people of the surrounding country.  This acquaintance gave her
an unusually large number of personal friends and each and every one of
them will join with the people of Sayre in expressing to the relatives
their heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement.

Died.  Mrs. Earl Coulson of Sayre, a sister of Mrs. Fred Smith, died May
31, and was buried Friday in the Sayre cemetery.  A large number of Erick
people attended the funeral.  Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved
relatives and friends in their hour of sorrow.
(7 Jun 1923, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Death of Mrs. Coulson.  Mrs. Ida M. Coulson died at the family residence
on Fourth street Wednesday, May 30th (sic), after an illness of five days.
 Mrs. Coulson was desperately ill from the first and all that medical
skill could do to save her was in vain.  She had grown to womanhood at
Doxey and Sayre and was known and loved by all with whom she came in
contact.  The funeral which was held at the Methodist church Thursday
afternoon was one of the largest ever held in Sayre and the floral
offerings were numerous and beautiful.  Mrs. Coulson leaves a husband and
little son, 12 years old, besides her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Richardson, and several sisters and brothers to mourn her untimely demise.
 The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the family in their
sorrow.
