Deceased Was Native of Dallas and Was Well Known Throughout Polk County The Funeral. Mrs. Viola Stockwell, wife of Thorn as C.

Last September she was removed to the Dallas hospital, where she submitted to a surgical operation, but despite the best surgical skill and careful nursing she continued to grow worse and soon afterward was taken back home, where she remained until death came to her relief. Mrs. Stockwell was the only daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Shultz, one of the oldest families in Dallas. She was born August 6, 1882. She was reared and educated in this city, and on January 26, 1905, was married to Thomas C. Stockwell, who, with a little daughter, aged eight years, sur vives her. The many friends of the family will be deeply grieved to learn of her death, which came in the very prime of womanhood. As a girl, she was a favorite in the younger social set and was beloved by all, both young and old. Possessed of an amiable dispo sition and a kindly, sympathetic na ture, she endeared herself to all who were so fortunate as to number her among their acquaintances. Uniting with the Christian church fourteen years ago, she remained a faithful member of that denomination until the end. The funeral service will be held at Chapman's undertaking chapel tomor row morning at 10 o'clock. Burial will take place in the Odd Fellows cemetery. RESULTS OF BUELL SPORTS.
