SALLIE HIGHLEY.Mrs. Sallie Highley, widow of the late James W. Highley, who resided at the Sloan House in Farmington, was found dead in bed by Mrs. Sloan, Tuesday morning, April 22, 1947. She was born in St. Louis on March 26, 1867, a daughter of the late Mary Ann Patterson and Theodore Rariden, and at the time of her death was 80 years 1 month of age.Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Cozean Funeral Home, conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. T. Magill, of the Presbyterian Church. Interment was in the K. of P. Cemetery.Mr. Highley passed away several years ago. During his lifetime they resided on a farm near Desloge. They had no children. Mrs. Highley was a member of the Sarah Barton Murphy Chapter of the D.A.R., the D. A. C. and the Presbyterian Church. She was at all times interested in civic affairs of the community and until her death enjoyed the pleasant association of her friends. She was in her usual good spirits Tuesday [sic Monday?] evening before retiring, and her passing was a shock to her relatives and friends. She is survived by several nieces and nephews, and a wide circle of friends. The Cemetery Book gives her date of death as April 20, 1947. However, I don't think this is right since the newspaper article specifically states that she was found dead on Tuesday morning, April 22nd. According to my perpetual calendar, April 22, 1947 did, in fact, fall on a Tuesday. April 20, 1947, fell on a Sunday. Also, cemetery book has her first name spelled as Sally.
