In May, 1911, she moved with her parents to this city, where she had since made her home. In June, 1921, she was married to Mr. McCollough. Besides her husband, she is survived by three children, Barbara Jean, Margaret and Richard. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Hoot, of this city, and two sisters and two brothers also mourn her passing. They are: Mrs. Ray S. Grant, of Los Angeles, Calif.; Mrs. Kenneth Paine, of this city; W.E. Hoot, of Colesburg, and O.K.
