Obit
A Mother and Three Children Burned
The sad new reached Comanche Tuesday morning that Mrs Willie Graham of Healdton and her three children ages 8 months, 2 years, and 4 years, respectively, were burned to death and thier home completly detroyed. Mrs Graham was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Tilley of Comanche. The report comes that nothing was left but charred bones. It is not known how the fire originated. Mr Graham had gotten up early and gone to work and Mrs Graham and the children had gone back to bed. The presumption is that the house caught from a gas stove.

Della and her three children died March 20, 1923, date of death from Mary Ann Cagle Tilley's family Bible. Obit was in the family Bible
