JUDGE SCRAPER’S DEATH.
A Man of Sterling Integrity Gone to His Reward
Judge George Scraper, Mrs. G. W. Clark’s father, died Thursday on Rowe’s prairie, 20 miles east of Pryor Creek, at the home of another daughter, Mrs. Cal Rowe. Mr. Scraper was 85 years old. For a number of years he had been in frail health. Lately his condition has declined and he, better than his family, knew the end was at hand. The Cherokee nation nor any other country ever had a man more highly regarded by those who knew him than George Scraper. While he had occupied several positions of trust and honor, he was not of the office-holding class, and more’s the pity. Deceased was a union soldier but his natural interests were all for peace.
