Mrs. Barbara Ginger

The cause of death were complications caused by a severe fall down a flight of stairs, which occurred about two weeks previous to the death. From the time of the fall little hope was had for a recovery. Her advanced age and the serious nature of the injury proved sufficient to break the thread of life. The end came Monday at the home of her son, John Ginger.

Funeral services were held at the John Ginger home yesterday, Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. H. F. Williams officiating. The interment was at Prairie View Cemetery.
