Headline | Miss Bammie Atkisson Dies in Kansas City |
Text | Miss Bammie Atkisson's many young friends in Cassville were made very sad Saturday, when they learned by a telegram from E. A. Atkisson at Kansas City to his nephew, Robt. Atkisson of Cassville, that she died Friday evening, March 27, 1908, of an acute stomach trouble, after an illness of two months, age 19 years, 4 months and 6 days. The remains were shipped to Aurora, thence conveyed to the Clay Hill Cemetery near Madry, where they were laid to rest at 2 p.m. Sunday, after funeral services by Rev. Abe Lemaster of Aurora.
Miss Bammie was the youngest daughter of the late Ex County Clerk Lafayette Atkisson of this county, and was a splendid young lady, beloved by all her acquaintances. She expressed a willingness to die if it was so willed by her Creator. She died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Fannie Stipp, who was unable to attend the funeral on account of sickness. Her brother, R. A. Atkisson of Claremore, Okla., accompanied the remains to Clay Hill Cemetery. She was a member of the Christian Church and the Rebekahs. A very large crowd attended the funeral. |
