Sherman, Tx Oct 22 - The remains of Mrs. Mollie F. Lankford, wife of our 
esteemed friend and fellow-townsman W. H. Lankford were buried last 
evening from the residence of C.W. Brown on West milberry street, where 
deceased had been boarding for several months.

Rev. J.C. carpenter conducted the funeral services at the house, and after 
the long procession reached the cemetery delivered a most appropriate and 
touching farewell at the open grave.

No death in this community has ever cast a more universal gloom over the 
hearts of our people.  The deceased was a lady of many exalted virtues and 
herkindness to those in distress was a leading trait in her character.  No 
one ever met with disappointment or misfortune who  did not receive words 
of comfort from her lips and no empty hand was ever extended by the needy 
that did not receive substantial comfort from her purse.  She was a 
consistent member of the Old School Presbyterian church, and in her sphere 
as a member was always active in every good work. This writer had the 
honor to call her a friend and we wish to join our tears with those of her 
weeping relatives and noble husband in this hour of their deepest sorrow.
