A letter written November 19th describing the account of Mary Ann Waller's death.
Dear Cousin Nannie
It is with sadness I write this letter you have heard ere this of your Aunt Mary's death but we thought you would like to hear the particulars of her sickness. She had been in her usual health until three weeks before her death then she only complained a little thought she had the gripp. for two weeks. Got up the morning she was paralyzed and fell by her bed that was the last day of Oct. She had a second stroke on Sunday night and was unconscious till the last. She died Friday morning Nov. 6 was buried Saturday afternoon.
John and Sam came but she never knew them. George did not get the dispatch until it was too late for him to get here until Saturday night. I was very sorry for him but he had made her a visit in August of two weeks. She did enjoy it went everywhere he went.
How we miss her but she is better off. She thought so much of you I know you would like to have a letter from us. I have been trying to find a time to write. The baby is a good deal of trouble she has been sick and I think is a little spoiled.
The neighbors were so good to Mrs. Crutcher in her illness they could not do enough for her.
Nov 20 Cousin Essie Curtright called me up this afternoon told me Nellie has a little girl baby this morning named Esther Virginia. Virgie's baby is quite puny.

He was active in community, church and county activities, and was one of the first to become interested in the re-stocking of this area with wild turkeys, the first ones brought here several years ago from south Missouri having been released on his land near Santa Fe, where owners of several hundreds of acres had pledged to protect the birds. From this small beginning the turkeys have spread over the county in such numbers that there are now open seasons for them in the county.
