Mr. R. A. Wilson
Passed Away Sun
From Last Week’s Doly Mirror.
Mr. R. A. Wiison, 60, of
Hammon, Okla.,1 after a linger-
ing illness with dropsy, passed
quietly away Sunday night at
his home' near Hammon.
Mr. Wilson hasinot been well
since he was brned trying to
save his wife whu was fatally
burned the past December. But
had not until "‘recently been
confined to his’bed.
He is survived by four daugh
ters and two sons, his mother,
two brothers and one sister,
viz: Mrs. Evyleene Funderburg
Mrs. Mildred Sheppard, Misser
Ruth and Birdie Lee Wilson
and R. A. and Bruce Wilson;
Mrs. Reed Mr. Nort Wilson of
Levelland and .Mr, Minnard
Henderson of Okla, and Mrs.
Stella Brunner of Glenwood.
He was a member of the
Methodist church since early
boyhood and a citizen highly ez-
teemed by all who knew him,
and his death will be learned
with deep regret by a large
. circle of, frinds.
His funeral took place at
Saery.i Qkla., Monday and his
body was laid to rest by his
wife who preceded him in death
last December.

30 yards to his 32 yard line.
Desperately the Bulldogs start-
ed passing, and twice they com
pleted them for first downs.
Then after Henderson had hit
the line for 3 yards, Boyd in-
tercepted Shaw’s pass on Gil-
mer’s 31 yardline.
They were on a rampage
now—those white-jersied scrap
pers of Coach McClelland, and
down on the 1-foet line. The
next play he was over for a
touchdown, but his boot for
the point was no -good. But it
made the score, Gilmer 12—Jef
ferson 7.
On Boyd's kickoff, Shaw re-
turned the ball 18 yards to his
own 32 yard line when G .B.
Lawrence stopped him. The
Buckeye line and backfield was
getting airtight on the defense.
Henderson was stopped with-
out gain. Shaw was able to
get 1 yard and on another try
he got away 2 yards when
Knight tumbled him. Ford
punted out of bounds on his
own 49 yard line.
Shockey proceeded to make
his best gain of the day, 28
J
e
on two plays added 10 yards to
put the ball on Jefferson’s one
foot line. Boyd took the ball
over for a touchdown but when
Berry failed to get thru the
line for the extra point, the
score stood, Gilmer 6—Jeffer-
son 7.
Excitement among the fans
of both teams grew to fever
pitch. It had been a long time
since a Gilmer team was so
hard pressed and never before
had Jefferson felt victory over
the Buckeyes in her grasp. Her
fa nr pleaded with them to hold
their slender lead.
But the-Buckeyes had tasted
blood, and- were reaching their
old-time gait. Although Hen-
derson returned Boyd’s kickoff
to his own 30 yard line and
Shaw succeeded in making a
first down the Buckeyes were
on their toes. Especially Mr.
Lovell’s son. . Interceptng a
