     "The grim reaper, Death, entered the home of Jerry Skaggs of Keaton Monday and took his wife, Mrs. Rinna Skaggs. She suffered a stroke of paralysis almost two weeks ago, and has been in such a serious condition that her death was not unexpected although a shock to family and friends. She leaves her husband and several children and a host of friends and relatives to mourn her passing. The family has our heartfelt sympathy."
