Gholson B. Dane died early
Monday morning after an illness
of several months duration. For
some weeks past his condition
has been so serious that hope for
material improvement was al-
most abandoned. He .had lived
in Nocona for several years past
and was rural carrier *on route 3
for about seven years, though
for the past two years has been
unable to carry the mails much
of the time. He was 39 years
old and leaves a widow and two
small children to mourn the loss
of their father and husband.
The burial took place at the Dixie
cemetery Monday afternoon.
