MRS. --YARNELL--MULLEN

ARMINTA MAY GATHERS was born at Millertown, Butler county, Pennsylvania, July 29, 1868, and died at her home two miles southeast of Anadarko, Jan 22, 1928, at the age of 59 years, 6 months and two days.

With her parents she moved to Kansas and married THOMAS F. YARNELL Sept. 15, 1887, at Miltonville. Several years before (the) opening they moved to Anadarko and lived at the Kiowa agency and Mr. Yarnell was in the employ of JOHN CRAIG and was also engaged in government beef contracts. After their residence at the agency for some time the family moved to their present home.

Mr. and Mrs. Yarnell were the parents of four children. The oldest son, COLMES B. died in Kansas. THORA, RAY F. and FLORA E. have spent their lifetime at Anadarko.

Mr. Yarnell died Jan. 22, 1907, and twenty-one years to the day and almost the same hour both died of pneumonia. Mrs. Yarnell was united in marriage to Aaron Mullen on Oct. 1, 1912. They united with the Christian church and in the faith she died. One who had known her for many years says: "Her heart was pure gold." Another, "She was quiet and reserved and always a lady." All bear testamony that she was the very soul of kindness to the sick and poor.

The Gish Funeral Home had charge of the funeral and the services were held at the Christian church Jan. 25, at 2:30 p.m. Rev. F.L. FARRINGTON, who assisted at Mr. Yarnell's funeral 21 years before, and Rev. E.E. DAVIDSON, the pastor, conducted the services. A large gathering was present, including many of the oldest settlers of this community. Another worthy friend has gone from us.

Mrs. Mullen is survived by her husband, AARON MULLEN, one daughter, Mrs. THORA BAR of Hodington, Iowa; two sons, RAY F. and FLOYD B. YARNELL, both of Anadarko and four grandchildren; four brothers, JOHN M. GATHERS of Meridian, Okla.; ROBT. C. GATHERS of Anadarko; G.B. GATHERS of Lookeba; E.O. GATHERS of Miltonville, Kansas; four sisters, Mrs. G.W. RODGERS, Snyder; Mrs. EVA TROUT, Eskridge, Kansas; Mrs. MAUDE GUTLER, Denver, Colo.; Mrs. J.F. ENSLER, Bushnell, S. Dak. All were present at the funeral except Mrs. Barr and Mrs. Gutler. The Royal Neighbors, of which order deceased had been a member for 22 years, conducted the burial service.
