Sample, Margaret Murray - Mrs. Floyd Wilson Sample (1872 - 13 May 1954)

Mrs. F. W. Sample, one of the oldest residents of the Town of Hixon (Clark Co., Wis.), will be buried Saturday afternoon at Riverside Cemetery.  Funeral services will be conducted at two o’clock from Griebenow’s Funeral Home.

Mrs. Sample was quite advanced in age and had been under a doctor’s care for the past several years.  However, she was still able to be up and about every day, but two weeks ago she fell, fracturing the elbow in her arm and since that time had failed rapidly.  She passed away at her home at 3:30 this morning.
