AN OLD LADY DIED TUESDAY

Mrs. Rebecca Billingsley, who resided about three miles west of this 
city, died at 2:30 Tuesday morning after a very short illness.  Mrs. 
Billingsley was about 68 years of age.  She was taken suddenly ill 
Sunday and grew worse until Tuesday morning when she died.  She 
leaves five sons and three daughters, two sisters, Mrs. J.H. 
Derryberry of this city and Mrs. Joe Wright, of Houston, Texas, four 
brothers, Cooper Willingham, of this city, Mack Willingham, of St. 
Louis, Dallas Willingham, of Broken Bow, and Tom Willingham, of 
Olney, Tex.

Mrs. Billingsley was a fine Christian character and had many friends 
in our city and county, where she had lived for a number of years.

The remains were laid to rest in the Canfield cemetery this morning 
where a large crowd of relatives and friends gathered to pay their 
last respects.
