Mrs. Cyntha M. Thrasher Dead
After an illness of thirteen days, Mrs. Cyntha M. Thrasher died at her home at this place last Sunday about four o’clock p.m., December 23rd.
Mrs. Thrasher was in comparatively good health until she developed a severe attack of pneumonia and though she battled the malady bravely, her vitality could hold out no longer.

A brother, B. F. Wayland of Enid, Okla. and a sister Mrs. Belle Thrasher of Red Fork, Okla., also survive.
Mrs. Thrasher united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church many years ago and it goes without saying that she lived a consistent and active member of same throughout the years that followed. She was closely attached to her home life and family typifying the true wife, mother, friend and mother.. Her passing is deeply deplored by the countless number who knew and loved her.
Funeral services were conducted at the home Monday morning at 10 a.m., by her pastor, Rev. D. R. Robertson, burial taking place at Wayland Arbor, near the old home of the deceased, Monday afternoon. A large gathering of relatives and friend attended the services at the home and at the grave.
