This was found in my husband's late mothers keepsakes.  There was no date on 
the obituary or newpaper name; but from other information gathered, we 
believe it was for December 1934 and in a Wytheville, VA newpaper:



Mrs. Susan Hoilman, widow of the late George W. Hoilman, died Monday morning 
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Smythers in West Wytheville, after 
a brief illness, at the age of eighty-six years.

Mr. Frank C. Hoilman, Atlanta, Georgia; Mr. William A. Hoilman, Toledo, Ohio;

M.C. Douthat of Bluefield, West Virginia.
