                         Death Claims Mrs. Sallie Ivy in San Angelo

  Mrs. Sallie Ivy, a pioneer Kimble County ranch woman, died in San Angelo 
Friday, July 2, after a very brief illness.  The body was prepared for burial 
and brought to Kimble County for interment in Red Creek Cemetery.  Funeral 
services were held in the Community Hall, London, Monday afternoon, July 5, 
Rev. J. E. Copeland, pastor of the London Baptist Church, officiating.  The 
following were active pall bearers:
  Henry Grobe, Louie Grobe, Wm. Matthews, John Robbins, W. C. Jones and Tully 
Black.
  Mrs. Sallie Childs Ivy was born in Kaufman County March 6, 1872, and grew 
to young womanhood in that county.  She was married to Sam H. Ivy on Johnson 
Fork on February 5, 1891, and to this union were born eight children.  The 
husband and three children preceded her.  The five surviving children are Bill 
Ivy, Crane; Mrs. Josie Smitherman, Austin; Mrs. Lorena McDonald, Santa Maria, 
Calif.; Mrs. Myrtle Estep, Floresville, and Geo. Ivy, Crosbyton.  Three sisters, 
Mrs. Josie Browning, Junction; Mrs. Lou Chandler, London, and Mrs. Maud McCollum, 
Hamilton, also survive.  In addition to the above, twelve grandchildren and one 
great grandchild and other relatives mourn her home-going.
  She united with the Baptist Church early in life and remained a member until 
her death.  She was one of the pioneer ranch women of the county and suffered 
the hardships of pioneer life, but her husband was one of the successful ranch-
men of the county.  A very few of the pioneers of the early days are left.  Her 
husband preceded her on September 3, 1928, but she continued to make her home 
in Kimble County until two years ago when she moved to San Angelo.
