The Mountain Echo, May 22, 1935 Issue: Mrs. Laurana STOKES MORROW.

Mrs. Laurana STOKES MORROW passed away May 18th after suffering a severe illness for several months. Mrs. MORROW was a devoted Christian since the age of 15 years. She was married September 25th, 1901 to J. M. MORROW and lived her entire life in Marion county. She leaves her aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bud STOKES of Leslie, her devoted husband and four children-namely, Howard, Harry, Ernie and a daughter, Mrs. Burley BAKER, all of Marion county, also four brothers, John and Charley of Springfield, Mo., Rex of Oklahoma, Harve of Montana, one sister Mrs. Virgie COTTON of Leslie, together with many other relatives and a host of friends. She was laid to rest Sunday, May 19th, at Pleasant Ridge cemetery. A few days before her death she (being aware the end was near) requested that the song, "I'll Soon Be At Home Over There," he sung. This request was carried out. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. B. Keeter of Flippin with the Yellville Funeral Home in charge. I cannot say-I will not say That she is dead, but just away. With a cherry smile and a wave of the hand, She wandered into an unknown land. Think of her still as the same, I say She is not dead-She's just away.-One Who Loved Her.
