OBITUARY NOTICE '2E

child Of j. A. and Ida stinson, was
born in New 'MNexieo, N sdS Nov; 3 80,
1893 and died May 2, 1909. The
family resided in New Mexico,
except short period in pklaho-
ma, until 1901, when they game
to Lamar, and have lived here
ever since. Ruth was the young
est in the family Of nine, and since
her death only two are left to the
stricken paremts--Mrs. BERTHE
Hughes, Of San Antonio, Texas.
and Miss Ethel of this place.
She was perhaps, as seyeral ex-
pressed it, the best kn9Wn and
best loved child in Lamar, be-
cause of her loving, qnselfsh dis
position. Bright, cheerful, and
possessing an unusual ability in
music and literature she was re-
eonized as a leader in her class.
Her early training and tendencies
made her very devotional and she
with most of the Sunday school
glass united with the M. E.
eh4rch lagt Easter. 9Rs at least
pf the class said it was due to
Ruth's influence that she joined
the church, Her illness was un-
usual. as she was taken suddenly
while visiting at a friends and
playing on the piano. She was
Sent home in a carriage. Physi-
eians were summoned and her
trouble pronounced appendicitis.
She improved very much and Mr..
stins9A who was hQme at the time
felt safe in going to his ranch 80
miles south Of Lamar. No dang
erous indications developed Until
| p. M, Saturday when she sud-
denly became alarmingly worse.
The family summoned Mr.. Stin-
son but was unable to reach him
before 6 q, m. Sunday: He i'm
mediately started with fast
beam and was met near Spring
field by Ray Strain in an auto.
He reached Ruth's bedside just
two hours before her death which
occurred 5 p, m. Sunday. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hughes, the sister and
brother=in-law, were summoned
by wire Sunday evening and
reached here Tuesday morning,
The funeral was held at the M. r..
church at pm. Tuesday and her
pastor, Rev. Pingree, delivered
amost tender, beautiful and COM
forting sermon. The High
school students her Sunday school
class and most of the students of
Lamar-together with a large
number of friends and sympath-
izers followed the remains to the
cemetery. The casket was cover
ed with beautiful flowers and
quantities of flowers, the gifts of
loving hearts, were streWn in pro-
fusion in and round the grave.
Death loses some of its hor-
rors when so much love, sympa-
thy and kindness is brought into
life and manifested by loving act.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Stinson
came uy from the ranch Monday
to offer consolation to the strick-
en- brother j, A. and his family in
their sad bereavement. The
