MRS. J.H. CALLAHAM DIED WEDNESDAY

Mrs. J.H. Callaham, aged 52 years, died Wednesday morning at 2:15 at 
the family home in the south part of the city, her death resulting 
after an illness of several months.  Funeral services were held at 
the Church of Christ in Idabel Wednesday afternoon at 5:00, conducted 
by Rev. Jeff Reese, of Center Point, Arkansas.  A very large number 
of friends and relatives were present and the floral offerings were 
in great profusion and beauty.

The funeral was directed by the Skaggs Undertaking Company, and 
burial was made in the Denison cemetery, two miles east of Idabel.

Mrs. Callaham united with the Church of Christ in 1895 and has always 
taken an active part in church work.  She was a splendid lady and was 
loved by all who knew her.  She was always in search of an 
opportunity to be of assistance to her neighbors and others who might 
be in trouble.  She was a devoted mother and wife, and her life's 
example will long outlive her.  She is survived by her husband and 
one daughter, Mrs. Zora A. Franklin, both of this city; father, J.D. 
Ayers, Center Point, Arkansas; three brothers, S.T. Ayers, Nashville, 
Ark.; Louis Ayers, Center Point, Ark., and Sam Ayers, Dierks, Ark., 
and two sisters, Mrs. Janie Tolleson and Mrs. Essie Dowdy, of 
Nashville, Arkansas, all of whom were present at the funeral except 
Mrs. Dowdy.

Mrs. Callaham had lived in Broken Bow the last eighteen years with 
the exception of two years while residing in Wilson, returning here 
last August.

The News joins in expressions of the deepest sympathy for the 
bereaved family.
