  "She leaves to mourn her departure her husband, James E. WILSON of Custer City;

  to mention.
  "She lived a consistent Christian life, was a loving and devoted wife and true 
   to all principles of right and love.
  "She was loved by all who knew her and in her former home there will be a missing 
   voice of love that will cause many sad days for her husband."
   One of the largest crowds attended the sad obsequy that has ever assembled at a 
   funeral in Thomas. The remains were interred in Mound Valley
   cemetery.

  and date are partially clipped off. It appears that "Thomas" is in the
  newspaper name, and "Okla., Thurs., September" is also visible.
