Walters, wife of Henry B. Walters, which came as a shock to the town when the announcement of her death was made Thursday [3 August 1911]. Mr. And Mrs. Walters recently came here from Gibtown, Mr. Walters being a partner with his father in the Kuykendall drug store. They came here to make their home with bright promises of a happy and useful life, but there was one who knew best, and the beautiful young wife was called to a home where there are no sorrows, nor shadows to blight and mar even the most fortunate and happiest of lives. Mrs. Walters was a member of the Gibtown Baptist church, her former home. She leaves her husband and infant son, her parents, Mr. And Mrs. F.M. Acord. Among the near relatives who came up to attend the funeral were her grandmother, Mrs. Martha Heath of Gibtown, Rev. and Mrs. J.B. Pyatt and children of Bridgeport, Mrs. Maude Lamkins of Elreno, Oklahoma, Mr. And Mrs. L.B. Woods of Dallas. Funeral conducted by Rev. J.B. Pyatt and Rev. C.C. Young at the home and burial immediately after the service in Oakwood cemetery.
