GALBREAITH, Kittie - The only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.P. Galbreaith, Miss Kittie, was born here in Bentonville December 19th, 1887 where she spent all her life and died early Sunday morning, June 15th, 1930 after a few days' critical illness following an emergency operation for appendicitis. For more than 20 years she had been an employee of the First National Bank of Bentonville, serving as assistant cashier much of that time and was widely known for the efficiency of her work and for her capabilities as a business woman. In her Christian service, a vital part of her everyday life, she was characteristically faithful and unassuming, giving of her means as generously as of her work and talents to this and other worthy pursuits. There are many, too, who have drawn real inspiration from her voice and other musical talents when for a number of years she devoted these to the service of the church. Funeral services, held at the Bentonville Baptist Church Monday afternoon, were conducted by the pastor, the Rev. J.D. Allen, and former pastor and old friend of the family, the Rev. M.L. Voyles, of Little Rock. Interment was in the family lot at the Bentonville cemetery. Besides her parents Miss Kittie is survived by 4 brothers, Hunter D. Galbreaith of Little Rock, and Marion, John and Charles Galbreaith of Bentonville, and a number of other relatives.
