1906 Roff, Pontotoc Co., OK

February 2-
Mrs. Belle BAUGHMAN, who died at her home in Roff last Friday morning, was 
buried in Davis Monday afternoon.
A large number of friends of the husband, W.M. BAUGHMAN, accompanied the 
remains to Davis. Among the relatives who came to Roff in response to the 
sad announcement were her sisters, Mrs. Cora SMITH of Eufaula, Mrs. HILL 
of Davis, and Mrs. SASS of Ardmore. 

Hart Camp No. 61, Woodmen of the World, have for the first time in its 
history to bear the emblem of grief. A tree has fallen.
The death angel visited our community, and with his powerful but pale hand 
claimed as a victim our esteemed and useful sovereign, John B. UNDERWOOD. 
He died at his father's home in Roff, January 25, 1906. He was 23 years of 
age and was seemingly a stout young man of our Camp. We will miss him in our 
society, his friends will miss his companionship, but alas, father and mother 
will miss him most.

Martha J. (JOHNSON) UNDERWOOD. John is buried at the Hart Cemetery outside of Roff.
