Mrs. J. W. Cron died at the family home west of Tonkawa, Monday March 2, aged 61 years, 9 months, and 25 days.

Miss Lutetia Angeline Sailors was married to J. W. Cron, March 30, 1861, and baptized into the United Brethren Church at 14 years of age, and lived a consistent Christian life.

She was the mother of nine children, four sons and five daughters, of whom two sons and three daughters with her husband survive her.

Her life had been one of devotion to her family and was given in reinforcing the lives of others.

The funeral was held at the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. W. J. Houston, who took his text from Amos V 8, "Who turneth the shadow of death into the morning." The words of the preacher were full of consolation to the family and friends of the deceased and contained a lesson of hope to the living. By request the choir sang, "Nearer My God to Thee."

Burial was in Odd Fellows Cemetery.
