Anna B. (Shum) Muckey1876-1909

Mrs. Anna Shum Muckey died at her home south of Guss, Taylor county, Friday,
July 12, 1909, from acute Bright's disease after an illness of a few hours.
At 6 o'clock in the evening she called her husband that supper would be
ready in a few minutes, and upon his arrival at the house, he found her
on the floor, unconscious, she dying a few minutes before 10 o'clock the
same evening.

The funeral was held at the Guss Methodist church yesterday at 1 o'clock,
being very largely attended, the floral offerings also being many and beautiful.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. L. B. Carpenter, an old friend of the
family, and a former pastor of the Guss Methodist church. The pall bearers
were Roy Akers, Neal Akers, Doyle Cree, Rolla Muckey, Estel Warner and
Frank Webb. She was laid to rest in the Guss cemetery.
