MRS. IDA HUSBAND

Mrs. Ida Husband, 64, died in the Hollis sanitarium, Hollis, Oklahoma Sunday morning, March 27, after a desperate fight for her life. Her remains were brought overland to her home at Montague late Sunday.

Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ in Montague by Elder Jno. T. Lauderdale of Saint Jo. Then the cortege went to the Starkey cemetery where another large concourse of friends and neighbors met to pay tribute. Elder John Raymond of Dye Mound held the service at the cemetery. Interment was arranged by Scott Bros.

Mrs. Husband was born in Texas December 11, 1866, moving first to central Texas and later to Montague County where she reared a large family and has been a devout Christian.

She reared 14 children and 5 grandchildren, all to manhood and womanhood. When her son Lee was elected sheriff of Montague County, she moved from her old home five miles west of Saint Jo to Montague. Just a short time ago she was taken to Hollis for an operation which caused her death. She is survived by six sons, Peary, Perry, Lee, Barry, Clyde, and Ernest; six daughters Mrs. Jeff Slaton, Mrs. Walter Kuydendall, Mrs. Andrew Williams, and Misses Ula and Una Husband.

Pallbearers were Sam J. Pedigo, W. E. Meador, George D. Pedigo, P. E. Redman of Saint Jo; C. D. Bennett, W. G. Simpson, W. E. Reynolds and Sheely Drive of Montague.
