MRS. MINNIE SEMPLE
On the evening of Wednesday, December 10, at the old family home just south of Caddo, Mrs. Minnie Semple, aged 57, passed to her reward, after several weeks illness of pneumonia.
Surviving are six children: Frank P. and Charles C. Semple, Mrs. R. H. Carraway, Mrs. John Doxsee and Miss Anne Semple, all of Caddo, and William F. Semple of Durant.
Interment was in the Caddo Cemetery Friday, at which were present, besides all the children, a large concourse of Caddo citizens and a number of friends of the family from Durant and other points in the country.
Rev. Hotchkin, of Durant, ministered at the funeral and delivered a simple but profound eulogy, beautifully depicting the life and ministrations of Mrs. Semple.
Mrs. Semple before her marriage was a Pitchlynn, through that family related to many of the old families of the Choctaw Nation. Her husband died about three years ago. And a daughter about a year previous to that.
The character of Mrs. Semple has left an impress on the community that only time can diminish but never entirely efface.
