JOE BLANTON DEAD

Joe Blanton, a pioneer of Verden, died at a hospital in Chickasha about 2 
o'clock Sunday morning.  He was 59 years old and had lived in Verden for a 
number of years.

It was expected that interment would take place in Verden, but word was 
received from a sister requesting that the body be held until she arrived, 
and no doubt she had the body shipped to his old home for burial.

We were unable to learn particulars and our information is very meager.  Joe 
had been failing in health for a long time and his death did not come 
unexpected.  He became so poorly that he was taken to a hospital in Chickasha 
for treatment about a week ago, but steadily grew worse and he answered the 
summons early Sunday morning.

LATER:  Interment took place in Verden cemetery Tuesday.  Funeral services 
were conducted at the grave by P. S. Lowe.
