   E. E. NALL
   
   Edward Edwin Nall, who suffered a stroke of paralysis Friday, March
   12, and was taken to a sanitarium at Sherman, Texas, succumbed to the
   attack Sunday of this week. It will be remembered that Mr. Nall was
   engaged in setting out trees when he suffered the stroke. He was
   immediately taken home and medical aid summoned, and improved
   sufficiently to be taken to Sherman. His entire left side was
   affected, even causing temporary mental derangement and loss of
   speech. At Sherman he was under the care of his brother, Dr. R. B.
   Nall, but the shock proved too severe and medical skill was without
   avail insofar as recovery was concerned.
   
   The remains were shipped to Waurika Tuesday morning and funeral
   services were conducted at the family home that afternoon by Rev. J.
   O. Peterson, pastor of the Methodist Church. Burial took place at the
   Waurika Cemetery at 4 o'clock. The immense floral offerings and the
   large concourse of friends that followed the remains to their last
   resting place bore evidence of the fact that immediate members of the
   family are not the only ones who mourn his untimely demise. Mr. Nall
   was only 42 years of age, and the entire community regrets the fact
   that he should depart from his loved ones so early in life. He was one
   of the city's biggest property owners, and never did the opportunity
   prove itself that he was not found an aggressive and conservative
   booster for the town.
   
   Among the immediate relatives surviving are a wife, Fanny, and six
   children, Edward, Lillye May, Thomas P., Josephine, Henry, and Edwina,
   residing in Waurika; three brothers, Dr. R. B., Carl, and Arthur Nall
   of Sherman, and a sister, Mrs. O. H. Hargett of Amarilla, Texas.
