MRS. PIATT
f IS- DEAD
?"' ' '
Mrs. Mattie Piatt- wife of -Jacob
Piatt died at 12 o'clock Sunday aftr
seueral days illness the result of a
paralytic stroke. She never regained
consciousness after the first eeizuro
and passed away without again recog-
nizing her family. The funeral ser-
vices were conducted at the M. .
Church at 2:10 o'clock today by Rov.
F. L. Farrington and attended by a
large number or sympathizing friends
after which interment was made in
the city cemetery.
Deceased was a faithful wife and
devoted mother and a valued friend
and nolgbbor. Sbo was a member of
the Ladies Circle of the G. A. R. the
organization attending the funeral in
a body. The bereaved husband and
children have the sincere sympathy
of the entire community in this sor-
rowgWblch came so suddenly but for
which they would have 'still been un-
prepared had weeks elasped since the
first warning. None can ever be to
theso bee children just what mother
was and tbe day will never corod
when they will not long for her coun
set and companionship.
The cry of "mother" to which she
has responded through many years df
ceaseless watching and tender card
falls on deaf ears today and tbe lov-
ing hands' which ministered so' faith-
fully unto others are still at list.
Tbedeath of this faithful mother leaves
tbe home desolate but after the first
anguish of parting is over maybe
time will bring solace with the thought
that to her this means "Rest."
Dear tired bands folded over her
breast
Loving eyes closed forover;
Faithful heart Btilled in eternal reBt
In the quiet grave lies mother.

ed in Anadarko this year by special
services the Memorial sermon being
delivered at the M Church by Rev.
S V Fait assisted by Rev. Farrington
and Rev Mussnlman the G A R and
Ladles Circle ottending in a body.
The attendance was so great that a
number were unable to get seats.
The services were most Impressive
and the sermon was a masterly effort
and did much to cement tbe kindly feel
ing between tbe wearers ol the Bine
and the Gray2S of tbe former and 9 of
the latter of whom reside in this
community.
Monday morning autos and car"
Metros took the members of the G A
R and Circle and a large number of
other citizens to the cemetery wher
the graves of th soldiers wero cover
ed with (lowers in loving remember-
ance of the patriotism of tho defend-
ers of their country.
In the afternoon services warn held
bt the M E church.
Speeches were delivered by Messrs
Hammond Campbell Tilton Sr. Rev
Farrington Hon Frank H Heskett.
The spoeches were all well received
and along tha usual lines of speeches
on such occasions a:.d the apeoch of
Mr Heskett was a masterpiece in con-
struction and delivery and plainly
showed that Mr Heskett had given
bjs subject careful though andt con-
sideration. While Mr Heskett is a young roan
born since the late unpleasantuess
bis idea of dealing with that serious
question 'if adop'ted would very soon
eliminate all the feeling that yet re-
mains among our older citlzensshlp
of those trying days.

Sadly but not with unbraiding;
The geneious deed was done;
In the storm of years that ate fading
No braver battle waa won.
Under the s)d and the dew
Waiting the judgment day
Under the blossoms the Blue
Under tbe garlands the Gray.
No more shall the war cry sever
Or the winding rivers he red
They hanish our anger forever
When they laurel the r.ravos of our

Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment day
Lava and tears for the Blue
