PROMINENT SOCIAL LEADER OF WICHITA IS TAKEN BY DEATH
Helen Thompson Throckmorton Active in Welfare Work here for Several Years
CAME TO CITY IN 1912
Helen Thompson Throckmorton, 39, prominent social leader of Wichita, died in a local hospital Wednesday evening following a major operation early in the week. Her home was at the Hillcrest apartments and she was the wife of Oak L. Throckmorton, well known Wichita financier and investment man.
Mrs. Throckmorton was born in Saginaw, Mich., on June 29, 1890 and was educated at Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., and at the school of Miss Chamberlayne in Boston, Mass. She was married on November 1, 1912 and came to Wichita to make her home.
Active in social and welfare work, Mrs. Throckmorton was a member of the board of directors of Wichita hospital for 10 years and was active on the board of the Baby camp here. She was a prominent member of the Junior League.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Throckmorton is survived by three daughters, Virginia Lee, 15, Helen Howe, 13, and Elizabeth, 8. She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. L. A. Wheeler, Troy, O., and a brother, Tom Thompson, New Brandford, Fla.
In the untimely passing of Mrs. Throckmorton, Wichita suffers a distinct loss. Coming to this city as a bride, she soon became an integral part of the social life of the town, a life which she continued to grace with her charm and talents for nearly two decades. From the background of an ideal home environment, she went forth to serve her community in many of its major activities. The hospital board knew her ability, the baby camp profited by her energy, to the cause of the Junior League she gave unstintingly. Hers was an ideal personality, ideal in her own home, ideal in her outside contacts. And those who knew her kindly ministrations will mourn equally with those more intimately associated with a life of rare beauty, a life filled with good deeds.
