Mrs. Joe Edge**, Sr., passed away at her home at 1:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, following a sickness of several months, and although she has been in a serious condition, the news of her death came as a shock to her many friends and neighbors.

Mrs. Edge has lived in Osage most of her life, and is the mother of four daughters and two sons.

She was one of the best mothers and hardest working women Osage ever had, and her passing is regretted by all.

Funeral services are to be held on Thursday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock and she will be laid to rest in the Osage cemetery.
