David, Sallie L. (Strahan)

Mrs. Sallie David, wife of Mr. R. A. David, died at her home in Winters, Runnels county, last Saturday morning of pneumonia. The remains were brought to Eagle Lake on the Cane Belt Monday morning, being met at the station by a large number of friends of the deceased and the member of the Woodmer[sic] Circle, and were taken to the Christian church were services were held at 3 o’clock in the afternoon by Rev. Mr. Murphy, the Christian minister. At the Lakeside cemetery the funeral ceremony was conducted by the ladies of the Woodman Circle according to the ritual of that order. Mrs. David, with her family, formerly lived near Ramsey’s Point, in this county, having moved to Winters about ten years ago. She was a niece of Mr. J. R. Strahan and a cousin of Mrs. R. G. Delano, and leaves hosts of friends throughout this community who were pained to learn of her death. She is survived by her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Viola Curry and Miss Carrie Bell David, and one son, Leslie, to whom the HEADLIGHT extends its sincere sympathy.
