WHITEHURST, MARY M.
(27 Oct 1921, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Mary M. Whitehurst, mother of John A., George C., and Harry
Whitehurst, died at Oklahoma City on Saturday afternoon last at the ripe
old age of 80 years.
Funeral services were held at Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon, and the
body brought to this city on Monday, being interred at the Sayre cemetery
that afternoon with Z. E. Twitty of the Baptist church, in charge of the
services at the grave.
Mrs. Whitehurst was a pioneer resident of this city and widely known, and
highly esteemed.  The funeral services here came at a very unfortunate
time due to the fact that the city was crowded with visitors for the
circus, prohibiting many of the business men from attending.  However, the
floral offerings at the grave were very numerous and beautiful.
(27 Oct 1921, Erick Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):

A. Whitehurst, president of the state board of agriculture, will be held
Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the residence of her son, 1324 West
Thirty second street.  The body will be sent to Sayre for burial.
Mrs. Whitehurst died Saturday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock after an illness
of several months.  She came to Oklahoma City several years ago and since
has made her home with her son.
She is survived by John A. and George C. Whitehurst, both of Oklahoma
City, and a third son, Harry Whitehurst whose home is in Sayre. -
