This is a burial notice:
MRS. SOWERS BURIED
DOUTHAT, May 11,
Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Ellen Sowers, 64 years old who died Sunday at her home in Douthat, were held at the family home at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Rev. J. L. Brown, pastor of the Central Methodist church in Picher, officiated. Burial was in the Miami Cemetery under the direction of the Green Undertaking company.
(Copied from the Miami Daily News-Record, Wed, May 11, 1927)
Source indicated a death date of 8 May 1927. But per the source’s accompanying obituary published 8 May 1927, Mary died “Saturday morning” which would have been the previous day per a 1927 calendar. However it is corrected by the May 11th burial notice in which it states she died Sunday. So there’s an obvious conflict.3
