Her death was sudden and was a shock to her family and hosts of friends. Mrs. Stark came with her husband, Judge Sil Stark, who was then a young attorney, from Terre Haute, Indiana, to Jacksboro years ago, when Jacksboro was a small village, and not long after the Indians had ceased their depredations in Jack County, and had resided here since that time, participating actively in the social and church life of the town through all these years. She was well known and had many friends. She was a devoted and active member in the Methodist church and had been since she first came here, and will be missed by all who deeply sympathize with her husband, daughters and son, who are Mrs. Dennis and Mrs. Green of Oklahoma, Mrs. Lena Denman, Miss Hattie Stark and Vester Stark of Jacksboro.
