The Verden News
October 23, 1914


Mrs. B. W. Sweeney living one mile west and two miles south of Verden, 
passed away at her home, Thursday, October 15th, 1914. Cause of death 
was lung trouble. She had been in bad health for some time and bore her 
suffering patiently and without murmuring. Mrs. Sweeney was born in 
Franklin, North Carolina, and is the daughter of J. E. Roper, living 
near Washita, Oklahoma. She was a Christian and was loved and respected 
by all who knew her having professed hope in Christ about ten years ago 
and united with the Methodist church.

She was united in marriage to B. W. Sweeney at Anadarko, July 17th, 
1907. No children were born to this union but she will be missed by a 
number of relatives and friends and the community has lost a loyal 
member and her husband a faithful wife in her death. Funeral services 
were held Friday, October 16th, 1914, at the Methodist church, conducted 
by Rev. P. F. Harman, and her remains were laid to rest in the Verden 
cemetery amid a host of sorrowing relatives and friends. The news 
extends sympathy to the family, and offers the suggestions that we shall 
all meet again.
