The large concourse of sorrowing friends who paid their last tribute to this good woman was a testimonial of the esteem in which she was held. Among the floral offerings was a huge harp from forty-one families of friends and neighbors. Another of wonderful beauty was from a group of Chickasha friends. There were others of rare beauty, but none more beautiful than the emblem of her life. The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community goes out to the sorrowing relatives.
