The Teague Chronicle - Nov. 30, 1917 edition

Mary Alice Lipscomb

Mary Alice Lipscomb, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. W. G. Lipscomb died at the family
home west of the railroad tracks last Friday morning at 3:00. Miss Lipscomb was
a school girl. She underwent an operation in Dallas some two weeks before her
death for the removal of her tonsils and adenoids and was presumably recovering
from this. Later pneumonia and an abcess on the lungs developed. It is
understood and just as preparations were being made for an operation for
removal of the abcess it burst causing death. Violent coughing due to the
pneumonia was said to have caused the bursting of the abcess. 

Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ at 3:00 Friday afternoon.
Interment was at the city cemetery at 4:00.
