   MRS. FANNY NALL
   The funeral of Mrs. Fanny Nall, longtime Waurika resident, was
   conducted Sunday afternoon, January 6 (1963) from the First Methodist
   Church with the pastor, the Rev. A.B. Grubb, officiant. Mrs. Nall died
   Thursday night (Jan. 3) around ten o'clock at Waurika Hospital.
   Burial, under direction of Worley Funeral Home, was in the family plot
   of Waurika Cemetery. Casket Bearers, four of them grandsons, were
   Edwin Nall, Robert B. Nall, I. B. Cogdell Jr., Joe B. Cogdell, Grady
   Guinn and Bud Forshee.

   Frances Josephine Sevier was born April 6, 1876, at Elmo, Texas to
   Moses Nimrod Sevier, a Presbyterian minister, and Hattie Meador
   Sevier. She was a direct descendant of the first governor of
   Tennessee, General John Sevier.

   On August 15, 1885, she was married to Edward Edwin Nall at
   Gainesville Texas. They came to Oklahoma a year before statehood and
   settled here where Mr. Nall was co-owner of the Nall-Stuard Hotel and
   vice president of the Waurika National Bank.

   After Mr. Nall's death on March 21, 1915, Mrs. Nall assumed the roll
   of both mother and father, facing many adversities in rearing her
   children. She helped operate the hotel until it was sold in the late
   1920s.

   The Nall Apartments were built in the early 1930s and Mrs. Nall owned
   and operated these until last October when her health began to fail.
   She was a member of the First Methodist Church and was active in
   business, social, church and civic activites as long as her health
   permitted.

   Surviving are six children: Edward Francis Nall of Vancouver, WA; Mrs.
   R. C. Taylor of Waurika; Bunce Nall of San Francisco, CA; Mrs.
   Josephine Cogdell of Altus; Henry Nall of Oklahoma City, and Mrs.
