MRS. I.R. SILVEY DIED HERE SUNDAY
       ___________
FUNERAL SERVICE HELD MONDAY AFTERNOON AT BROKEN BOW CEMETERY

Mrs. I.R. Silvey, aged 68 years, died at the home of her son, Ivan Silvey,
in the southeast part of town, Sunday afternoon about 4:45 o'clock, her 
death resulting from a ten weeks illness of pneumonia.  Funeral services
were held at the Broken Bow cemetery Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock,
conducted by Rev. M.S. Peek, pastor of the First Christian Church.  A large
crowd of friends and relatives were present at the funeral, and the beauti-
ful floral offerings attested the esteem in which the deceased was held.

Mrs. Silvey was a splendid lady and was loved by all who knew her.  She
united with the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Wayne County, Illinois at an
early age and took an active part in church activities, and 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; four sons 
and five daughters, as follows.  Ivan Silvey, Broken Bow; Archie and Oscar
Silvey, Oklahoma City; Gene Silvey, Peublo, Colo.; Mrs. R.G. Miller and 
Mrs. H.S. Young, Pueblo, Colo.; Mrs. Gladys James, Moyers; Mrs. Tom M.
Simpson and Miss Ilah Silvey, Oklahoma City.

Mr. and Mrs. Silvey came to Broken Bow two years ago from Oklahoma City 
and have been making their home here with their son, Ivan Silvey and
family.

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