Nora Frances Alsup, nee Tantham, daughter of Charley Tantham, deceased, died Sunday, June 8 at 10:10 o’clock a.m. at the home of her mother, Mrs. Sarah Jane Trantham Harmon, after an illness of uremic poison of nine months’ duration, being confined to her bed four weeks. Nora was born and reared here and was loved by all who knew her, and she will be sadly missed, as was evidenced by the great procession that followed her to here resting place. The funeral sermon was conducted in the home by Rev. Verna L. Clark, pastor of the Pentecost mission at West Plains, and the same was appropriate and impressive. She was buried beside the grave of her father in the Thayer cemetery. Her uncles, Jim Trantham of Springfield, and Tom Kyle ot [sic] Humerick, Ind., and their wives, her aunts, Mrs. Susan Peak of Jonesborro, Mrs. W.G. Wooldridge of Thayer and Mrs. H.A. Emerson, and her cousin, Walter Roach of Jonesboro, were with her when death claimed her spirit. Nora was lovable from childhood. She was kind and good always to all persons. When the railroad was finished here in the spring of 1883 she was the first person to ride across the state. Her father took her in his arms on the engine.
