Letter to Editor of Hartshorne Sun, December 1922:
"Dear Sir: For the purpose of relieving the minds of the people of Hartshorne, and also those along the road between Poteau and your city, and in justice to ourselves, we desire that you publish, in your paper the following statement concerning the disposition of the body of our dear wife and mother, who departed this life at 3:11 p.m. January 4, 1922.
"We could never have been content with having placed her at rest elsewhere than by the side of the baby at Hartshorne. In order to do this, Mr. J. F. Miller, of Poteau, who is a licensed undertaker and embalmer of twenty years experience, procured a permit from the State Health Physician, through the County Health Physician, to move the body to Hartshorne, under the following conditions:
"That the corpse be placed in an air-tight, water-proof, rust-resisting, lead-coated, steel casket, hermetically sealed; that the casket be thoroughly fumigated; that it be taken out of the house and put in a strong box lined with black tin, sealed by soldering the lid on, making the box air-tight.
"And in order that we might accompany the body, it was necessary that we thoroughly cleanse our bodies, fumigate our clothing and make the trip between darkness and daylight.
"All this was strictly complied with, directed by the family physician, Dr. J. J. Hardy, the County Health Physician, Dr. Harrell Hardy, supervised by Miss Minnie Smith, a trained nurse from Fort Smith, Ark.
"In conclusion, we wish to express our appreciation for the help given us at Hartshorne in placing the body to rest, and for the sympathy extended. JOHN A. HUNT, HERBERT HUNT"
