Dr. A. A. Overton passed away Friday, Feb. 1, at his home on Shoal Creek at the age of 86 years.

His death was a result of paralysis and old age. He has been quite feeble for sometime. A stroke of paralysis about three weeks before his death proved too much for his advanced age.

He leaves a widow and eight children, two daughters and six sons. He was the father of Dr. R. C. Overton of Shoal Creek.

Independence -- Quite a few from here attended the funeral of Dr. A. Overton at Okla Union Sunday.
