MRS. ELBERT RANDLES DIES OF HEART ATTACK

Mrs. Elbert Randles was found dead in bed Friday noon, Jan. 16, with her two small children crying in their home north of the grade school building. Her husband had left early that morning for work at the "66" Service Station where he had recently secured employment. When he returned home at noon for lunch, he found his wife had quietly passed away.

Examination revealed she had died of a heart attack, about eight o’clock that morning.

Norma Jean McKinney was born in Oklahoma, March 10, 1932 and passed away Jan. 16, 1958 at the age of 20 years, 10 months and six days.

On March 2, 1949, she was united in marriage with Elbert Randles. To this union two children were born: James Arthur, and Mary Kathleen.

Four years ago a sister passed away and six months later her mother died. Then, just over a year later, her father was accidently killed in a truck accident. Mrs. Randles last spring, after the death of her father, suffered a nervous breakdown, and these complications possibly contributed to the fatal attack in Leoti.

The last rites were held Tuesday, at 2 p.m. from the Methodist Church in this city, with Rev. F. G. Smith delivering the funeral sermon for this respected young mother who was liked by all who knew her.

The casket bearers were Stuart Brown, Lyle Rose, Floyd Rody, Roy Haislip, Albert Lunz and Dow Conrad. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Clifford Jay, Luther Seibel, Albert Samuelson and Don Minor, with Mrs. Ruth Betlach, pianist. Numbers selected were "Somewhere" and "Beautiful Land."

Interment was in Leoti Cemetery.

Included among the survivors are her husband and two children; five sisters, Mrs. Nema Sifford, Junction, Texas; Mrs. Jackie Smith, Atoka, Ok., Emma Sue, Geneva, and Anna Belle McKinney of Junction, Tex.; five brothers, Don, John, Dale, Maxwell and Wayne McKinney, all of Junction, Tex.
