WOMAN DIES OF SELF-INFLICTED BULLET WOUNDS.


Mrs. Geo. SANDEFUR, 55 years old, died Sunday noon at her farm home
near Reeding as a result of self-inflicted bullet wounds.

In a moment of despondency Saturday evening, she retired to her room
upstairs and shot herself three times in the breast with suicidal
intent.  Neighbors, becoming alarmed when she was not seen about the
house, found her Sunday morning, still alive.  She lived long enough
to express remorse at her act and a desire to live.

Two children, Adrian and Esther, survive her.  One son, Joe, who died
several years ago, was formerly a prominent Kingfisher business man.
The surviving children were to have spent Christmas at home with their
mother, and she had made preparations for their entertainment before
taking her life.  Some Christmas letters and presents which she had
mailed did not arrive until after news of her death was received.

Deceased had lived alone on the SANDEFUR farm since the death of her
husband, one year ago.  She had been in poor health lately.

Funeral services were held Monday from the Christian church at
Cashion, and interment was made in the Cashion cemetery.
