WAXAHACHIE, Jan. 19 – A death of unusual sadness occurred here Friday night last, when Mrs. Sallie Cheairs breathed her last. The deceased was reared in Drew county, Ark., and was the daughter of J. R. Shelton formerly of that county, but now a citizen of this place. She leaves four small children, the youngest being an infant only a few days old. Funeral services took place from the Methodist church this afternoon, having been postponed till that time to await the arrival of her parents, who were at their old Arkansas home at the time of her death.
