Emma B. Dickinson Stricken Last Friday Night

    Our little city was shocked by the sudden death of
Mrs. Emma B. Dickinson, who was stricken while out
walking with her husband, W.E. Dickinson, about
nine o’clock last Friday night.

    Emma B. Dickinson was born in Barber county, Ala.,
September 14, 1860, and passed away May 11, 1917.
When a child she moved with her parents to East
Texas. In June, 1887, she was united in marriage to
W.E. Dickinson, and six children were born to this
union, W.E., Jr., Mattie L., W.H., Mary F., Anna G.
and James W., all of whom were present when thelast
sad rites were held, except James who recently
joined the navy.

    Deceased leaves six brothers and a sister to mourn
her loss, four of whom, R.L. Harwell, Kerna, Tex.,
Will Harwell, Maples, Tex., and H.J. Harwell
accompanied by two daughters, of Idabel, were
present when their beloved sister was laid to rest.

    Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon by
Rev. Gross at the Methodist church, of which the
deceased had been a member since childhood, after
which she was laid to rest in Doakesville cemetery,
followed thither by a large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends.

    The Enterprise joins with the many friends in
extending sympathy to the bereaved husband and
family.
