MRS. DELOZIER IS TAKEN BY DEATH IN LONG ILLNESS
PIONEER RESIDENT SUCCUMBS AT AGE 79
FUNERAL RITES TOMORROW
Mrs. Emma DeLozier, wife of H. F. DeLozier died
late yesterday afternoon at her home on South Maple street after an illness of
five months. Funeral services in charge of Dr. P. J. Conkwright will be held at
the First Baptist church at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. Burial will be in South
Heights Cemetery under the direction of the Landrith Funeral Home.
Mrs. DeLozier is survived by her husband and five grandchildren. She was the
mother of two sons, Bert, who was connected with the Trans-continental Oil
Company and who met death in 1921 in an auto accident in Texas, and Matt
who was the first U.S. Probation officer to be appointed in Oklahoma and who was
killed by an accidental discharge of his pistol in 1935.
Away back in 1902 the DeLoziers came to Sapulpa from Osceola, Mo., and have made
their home here ever since. For many years he was connected with the Frisco
railroad as traveling live stock agent. He was retired several years ago on
account of advancing age.
Mr. and Mrs. Delozier were married 61 years ago in Missouri. She was 79 years of
age and had been a member of the Baptist church since early in life. She was a
member of the T. E. L. class of the First Baptist Sunday school and of the
Corona club. Her going marks the passing of another of those early pioneers
whose efforts in the early days made Sapulpa what it is today and whose ranks
are thinning fast.
W. J. Miller, Ray Weakley, W. B. Key, Roy Wildman, Sebe Christian and Charles
Foster are pall bearers.
