H.H. CHRONISTER DEAD AT AGE OF 107 YEARS

Henry Harrison Chronister died at his farm home three miles east and a
half mile south of Fort Cobb, last Monday morning at the extreme
advanced age of 107 years, 4 months and 12 days.

Mr. Chronister, who was born in Pennsylvania, was one of the very
earliest settlers in Caddo county, having homesteaded the farm on which
he died.

His was a long and active life; up to a few years he was doing his own
work. He was of robust build, being about 6 feet tall and weighing over
200 pounds until a short time ago. His last appearance in town was last
February.

Surviving him are his wife, one son, Frank, living at Shidler, and one
daughter, Ida, and two grandchildren.

Funeral services were conducted at the home Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock, conducted by Rev. Compton, and interment was in the Oak Grove
Cemetery.
