  General Notes:

Death's Visits

Mrs. W. B. Evans died at the family home in Center City community Tuesday afternoon after a long illness. She was a daughter of Mr. E. M. Geeslin of Center City and besides loving parents and other relatives, she leaves a husband and three small children to grieve. The family moved to New Mexico a year ago in the hope of benefitting her health, but she was not improved and she was brought back home to be among relatives and loved ones. The sympathy of the people for the bereaved ones is indeed great and sincere.

The funeral at Center City cemetery Wednesday afternoon was largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends.

The Goldthwaite Eagle, 12 Sep 1908 5
