followed by an illness of
weeks.
The funeral services were held at
the Thomas home Friday afternoon at
2:30 and the burial occurred at the
City Cemetery. ' Rev. Wesley D
Thompson conducted the funeral ser-
vices and paid fitting tribute to the
memory of this good woman. The
beautiful floral offering represented
the love and esteem of many relatives
and friends.
Mrs. Watson was a daughter of
Capt. W. R. Buford, deceased. She
was born in 1839, in Nacogdoches
county, Texas. She was first married
to R. G. Edwards, which union was
blessed with several children, four of
whom survive, Mrs. Florrie Swann, of
San Antonio, Mrs. Mamie Kilpatrick
and Mrs. Lottie Moor of Abilene, and
Kit Edwards of Muskogee, Okla. Mr.
and Mrs. Edwards moved frotn Nacog-
doches county to Heampstead, moving
from there to this city in the early
seventies, Mr. Edwards dying shortly
thereafter. Mrs. Edwards was mar-
ried in the latter seventies to E. Wat-
son and they moved to Eureka Springs,
Ark., moving later to Muskogee, Okla.
To this latter union several children
came, Mrs. Anges Wright, of Coweeta,
Okla., being the only one now surviv-
ing.
Mrs. Watson was a sister of J. C.
Buford, Mrs. Buck Thomas and Mrs.
I. H. Harrison, and was the first of
the four children of Capt. Buford to
receive the summons of death.
She became a member of the
Methodist church ^t the tender age
of 12 years, and was ever afterwards
a faithful and ^persistent worker for
the church and1 its institutions. To
her fell the honor of organizing the
first Home and Foreign Mission So-
ciety in existence in the old Indian
Territory and she "was a life member
of the society, contributing her time
and means to the development and
promotion of this worthy and com-
mendable work.
She came here Christmas for a visit
to her brother imd sisters, took sick
and dier weakened physical condition

R. Parker as a candidate for Constable
of Precinct No.-8.
Mr. Parker has lived in the Birth-
right community for the past fifteen
years and has been serving as Deputy
Constable under Luther Goggans since
1914. He has made an active and
highly efficient Deputy Constable and
has demonstrated that he is well quali-
fied for handling the duties of the

not aspire for a second term, Mr. Par-
ker now respectfully asks the voters
for a commission to safe-guard the
peace and property of Precinct No. 8,
in his own right and title, and if elect-
ed, pledges them that he will continue
to exert his best efforts towards a
strict and equitable enforcement of the

dacy and will appreciate a fair con-
sideration at the hands of the voters.
