and from THE SHATTUCK MONITOR, Shattuck, Oklahoma, Thursday, August 7, 1919, p. 3, col. 1

Mrs Maude Sample, of south of town, who has been in feeble health for a long time, her ailment finally developing into a case of nephritis died Tuesday morning. Deceased was an aunt of Dick Sample, well known to Shattuck people.

I don't understand this as ELLIS COUNTY CEMETERIES listed the graves in order [I thought] and she is listed next to
him. I'll check it out the next time I'm in Shattuck.

If you would like the hard copies, I will mail them to you.

Hope this sheds some light on your family.
