Wife of Robert S. Kerr
Daughter of J.W. Shelton (b. Miss.) and Willie P. (b. Miss.)
"MRS. ROBERT S. KERR (From Wednesday's Daily)
Funeral service for Mrs. Reba Elsie Shelton Kerr, prominent local attorney, was held at the First Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock with Rev. C.C. Morris, pastor of the First Baptist Church, and Rev. R.T. Blackburn, pastor of the First Methodist Church, officiating.
Active pallbearers were J.F. McKeel, Byron Sledge, Robert Wimbish, Whitman Fentem, H.F. Felix, and J.H. Shackleford. Interment took place in Rosedale.
Death came Tuesday evening about six o'clock after an operation following the death of an infant son. She is survived by her husband; her mother, Mrs. Tillie P. Shelton; two sisters, Mrs. T.O. Dandridge and Mrs. Paul Payne; and one brtoher, Tillman Shelton.
All except Mrs. Payne live in Ada.
Mrs. Kerr lived in Ada much of her life. She came here when a school girl, when the family moved from Sulphur. She completed the course in the East Central Normal, where she won honors in scholorship. For several years she was one of the most efficient teachers in this district.
Soon after the return of Captain Kerr from the war, he and Miss Shelton were married and their life has been ideally happy. She saw him begin a rapid rise in his profession and the furture appeared bright indeed. Then she was taken almost without warning.
The deceased was active in church circles. She was a member of the Methodist Church, but after her marriage joined her husband in much of his religious work in the Baptist Church. She was a leader in the Sunday school, and part of the time taught one of the classes.
Having grown to womanhood in Ada and having made friends repaidly, few residents of the city had a wider circle of friends, who mourn her untimely taking away. Captain Kerr also has close friends by the hundred who mourn with him in his bereavement."
