It was the death of Miss Mary Roberts, at the local hospital. Her death, we are informed came from heartfailure following an operation. Mary Roberts was a young lady still in her teens, charming and lovable admired by all who knew her. The writer has known Mary from infancy having seen her grow to young womanhood and has loved and admired her for her beautiful traits of character. She was reared by her grand parents Mr. and Mrs John Anderson of near Redmoon who worshiped her. She was a member of the Methodist church at this place, having united with that congregation in 1915 and lived a consecrated life. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. McCleskey, pastor of the Methodist church and the remains laid to rest in the Cheyenne cemetery, Cheyenne, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma Thursday afternoon. We grieve with her loved ones because of her untimely demise. But why grieve, she rests? ( Headstone reads Born Dec. 9, 1898 Died May 16, 1918)
