"Card of Thanks" RE: Death of Margaret Ann Decker (nee. MacLean, 1840-1913)

From the Pleasanton Observer-Enterprise (Pleasanton, Kansas), February 13, 1913, Thursday, Page 2 --



Card of Thanks. 
We thank the friends and neighbors who was ever so kind in helping to care for our wife, sister and aunt.
L. W. Decker. 
Sarah Surplus. 
Lucy McClure. 
Josie Armor.

Margaret Decker was my 2xg-aunt on my mother's maternal side.  "L.W." was her husband Lawrence;  Sarah Surpluss (1843-1913) was Margaret's sister, and my 2xg-grandmother; Lucy McClure (1851-1920) of Oklahoma was another sister; and Josie Armor (1866-1958) was Margaret's niece, Sarah's daughter, and my great-aunt.

Less than one year later Margaret's husband Lawrence will be murdered.  More about that soon.
