SMOOT, LILLIAN MAY
(25 Feb 1909, Thursday, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Samuels of Ewing, Mo., arrived in this city on the 12:50 p.m. train
Monday in response to a telegram sent Sunday morning announcing the
serious condition of her daughter, Mrs. Smoot, who died six hours before
her arrival.  Mrs. Samuels will remain here until the motherless babe is
strong enough to stand the journey to Ewing.
DIED.  Monday, February 22, at 6:15 a.m., of child-bed fever, at her home
3 miles northeast of Sayre, Mrs. Lillian May Smoot, wife of Sobeska Smoot,
aged 33 years, 10 months and 19 days.
Funeral services were held at the Baptist church at 3 p.m. Tuesday, after
which the body was conveyed to the depot and shipped on the evening east
bound train to Ewing, Mo., for interment.
Deceased leaves a husband and four children, the youngest only 10 days
old.  The husband and elder children accompanied the body to its final
resting place.
(25 Feb 1909, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. S. T. Smoot Died February 22.
Last Monday morning, February 22, Mrs. Lillie Smoot, wife of Mr. S. T.
Smoot, a farmer, who lives 3 miles northeast of Sayre, died leaving a
husband, mother and four children, three boys and one girl, the latter
being only ten days old at the death of her mother.
The funeral services were conducted last Thursday by Rev. J. C. Gwatkins
at the Baptist Church, of which he is pastor, and of which Mrs. Smoot was
a member.
Mrs. Smoot was Miss Lillie Samuels of Butler, Mo., previous to her
marriage and the remains were shipped there for interment.
Mrs. Samuels, mother of Mrs. Smoot, arrived from Butler Monday and
remained to care for the infant until it is able to be carried back to Mo.
Mr. S. T. Smoot moved to this country about six years ago, coming here
from Washington, and during his stay here has made many friends, and many
are the expressions of sympathy which his loss has called forth.
The little ten days old girl is apparently doing good.
