MISS EULAH SMITH PASSES AWAY

Both city and countryside were stunned by the news of the death of one of
our most loved young girls, Thursday, August 17.

Eulah Smith was born and reared in McCurtain county and had grown to young
womanhood in this city.  She attended the public schools here and was loved
by all who knew her, both young and old.  Her death leaves many sad hearts
but her sweet character and lovable disposition will always be remembered
and cherished.  The esteem and love for both her and her family were
manifested by the host of friends who gathered to console the bereaved
family, and the many beautiful flowers that were emblems of sweet
memories and living love.  Old time neighbors of years gone by, far and
near, friends from all over the county came to offer their sympathy and
to clasp their hands in understanding friendship.

Eulah Smith was born at Glover in this county, February 10, 1910, and
passed away at the age of 23.  She was reared at Hochatown and Broken Bow,
where she graduated from the Broken Bow high school in 1929, later finish-
ing a business course in Oklahoma City.  Since that time she had held
responsible positions both here and in Idabel and until about two months
before her death was employed in the post office here.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church of Broken Bow, Rev.
Holcomb of Idabel officiating.  Interment was immediately afterward in the
Crown Hill cemetery.

Those left to mourn her passing are a son, Bittie Jean; her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. General Smith; five brothers, Clifford of Owasso, Okla., Allie of
Monroe, La., and Noah, Ira and Ora of Broken Bow; a grandfather, Mr.
English Baker of Mena, Ark., and a number of other relatives and friends.
