Article Published in Mt. Pleasant Times March 28, 1929 reads: "Mr. and Mrs. Starrie Harsh attended the funeral of Mrs. Lucy Slater, at Mt. Pleasant, Sunday.

(I am thinking the obituary stating Luther is actually a typo for Lucy. Unless her husband Allen sometimes used the name Luther. I have never seen it written as Luther. On all census records and children's obituaries it says Allen.)
