This obituary was found in my husbands late mother's possessions.  There was
no date or newpaper heading, but from the back of the clipping and what we
know of the family, it appears to be from December 1934:

at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Smythers in West Wytheville, after
a brief illness, at the age of eighty-six years.
