BROKEN BOW COLORED TEACHER DIED WEDNESDAY

Wednesday morning at 4:00 S.J. Bafford, a colored teacher in the 
Broken Bow Negro schools, for the past two years, and a sister of 
C.F. Hughes, colored principal here, died after a short illness. She 
was prominent in the community work of her people, and has taught 
successfully in the colored schools of McCurtain county for several 
years.

She was a bright, efficient teacher who will be greatly missed from 
her accustomed place in both public and social life.  She has many 
friends among the white people wherever she lived, and was a special 
favorite in colored circles.

Both her white and colored friends regret to learn of her death.

The remains were shipped to her former home in Mississippi for 
interment, being accompanied by her brother C.F. Hughes.
