J. C. STINSON FUNERAL HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON LARGELY ATTENDED

Many old friends attended funeral services for J. C. Stinson held at 2:30 Sunday afternoon at the Methodist Church. Rev. Walace Linton, Union Chapel pastor, officiated. Floral offerings were unusually numerous and beautiful and evidenced the remembrance of many friends. Internment was made in Hennessey cemetery. The funeral cortege was fully a mile in length.
Jacob C. Stinson , son of James and Catherine Stinson, was born in Boone County, Iowa, Nov. 17, 1872, and departed this life August 12, 1937, at the Halstead Hospital, at Halstead, Kans., at the age of 65 years 8 months and 29 days.
He grew to manhood in the community where he was born and was united in marriage to Minnie Phipps on March 2, 1896. One child was born to their union.
He brought his family to Oklahoma in 1900 and located on a farm five miles southwest of Hennessey. It remained his home until 1906, when he moved to Hennessey to engage in the livestock business with J. A. Caulk. They were actively engaged in that line until the year 1918, operating one of the largest markets in the state. He and Mr. Caulk dissolved partnership that year, but Mr. Stinson continued active in livestock and agriculture until late in 1934, when he became interested in the auction sale line. Taking over the local community auction he operated it successfully until his death.
Appointed as a deputy under Sheriff Mon Tate in 1908, he proved himself an excellent and fearless officer. Appointed to membership on county excise board, he proved efficient and capable. He was a memeber of the board of directors of the Farmers Elevator & Co-Operative association and was also a charter member of the local A. T. A. unit and active in projects for community improvement.
He is survived by his widow, daughter, Mrs. Mae Duffy, of Magnum, Okla,: three brothers, Horace, of Dover, Okla.: James, of Glenrio, New Mexico: Claude, of Arizona, and one sister, Mrs. Maude Herndon, of Hydro, Okla., and grandson, Jack Richard Duffy, of Magnum. Two sisters and one brother preceded him to the great beyond.
