Powell 28 July 1905 28 December 1959 "Mother" In the McCurtain Gazette newspaper, for Wednesday, December 30, 1959, I quote the following obituary: "Mrs Ruth Powell, 54, Idabel, died 9:45pm in McCurtain Memorial Hospital. Born July 28, 1905, she had resided in McCurtain County since 1942, moving from Foreman, Arkansas. She was a member of the Baptist church. She is survived by one son, Donald N. Powell (Oklahoma City, OK), one daughter, Mrs Kathryn Tucker (Idabel, OK), her father, U.S. Connally (Idabel, OK), two brothers, Ben Connally (Tollieson, AZ), and Alonzo Connally (Sandia, TX), one sister, Mrs Robbie Tyson (Idabel, OK), three half-sisters, Mrs A.C. Smith (Harlington, TX), Mrs C.C. Brumfield (Fort Worth, TX), and Mrs Otto Klitz (Winthrop, AR), one half-brother, Louis Connally (Riverbank, CA), three grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Funeral services have been set for 2:30pm Thursday at Southwest Baptist Church with Rev. Miles Wesner officiating. Arrangements and burial in Denison Cemetery are under direction of Coffey Funeral Home." That is all that is available at the library ... no mention of those that have preceeded her in death. Hopefully this answers your needs or at least gives you some further directions to explore.
