Overton of Hobart, Oklahoma, Mrs. Matilda Engle of Kooskie, Idaho and Loy, Golda and Sylvia, who reside at home, besides many relatives and a host of friends.

She was converted about three years ago and joined Hickory Grove church and has been a true Christian ever since, always being in her place at Sunday School and always ready to give her testimony at every opportunity.

Just before she died she said, "I won't be in the Sunday School class any more but I'll be in Jesus' class", she also prayed and sang and asked them all to meet her in heaven.

She was loved by all that knew her and will be greatly missed in the church, Sunday School and Young peoples society as well as the school room.

Her brothers and sisters were all present at her bedside with the exception of one brother, Orville.

The funeral services were held at Hickory Grove church Monday Dec. 23rd at 11 a.m.
