Obit For Susan (Hilderbrand) Linley
Headline Mrs. Tom Linley
Text Another mother has been taken, leaving bleeding hearts, that are lacerated with wounds that will not heal; because their mother is not. The good book says that the day of death is more precious than the day of birth, yet we can not see and know why, because it is fraught with the greatest sadness and sorrow, because of the separation.

Miss Susan Hilderbrand was born in Osage Nation, Okla., in 1886, and was married to Thos. Linley, in 1907, and six children were born of this marriage, four sons and two daughter, the oldest son 12 years and the daughter a few months old.

She died Feb. 22, 1920, in this city of flu pneumonia, aged 34 years, leaving her husband and children that needed her care and attention.

She left four brothers, three of them: Joseph of Chelsea, Richard and George of Bartlesville, Okla., attended her funeral and James of Pawhuska, Okla., could not attend on account of sickness in his family.

Rev. J. T. Brattin conducted short funeral services at the Linley home at 2:30 p.m., Monday. Interment was made in Oak Hill Cemetery at this place.

The five months old babe followed its mother, Thursday and its remains were interred yesterday in Oak Hill.
