From the Ryan Leader [Ryan, Jefferson, Oklahoma], issue of 17 January 1919:

MRS. LOLA OLIVE ARNER

Mrs. John Arner died in Ryan about noon Saturday, January 11, 1919 of influenza and pneumonia. Deceased had been ill only a short time, in fact, many of her neighbors and friends were unaware of her serious condition. It is said that was her second attack of influenza this winter. Only a few days before her death, one of her twin babies died after a brief illness. Her mother, Mrs. Thompson, who came here to nurse her daughter, took sick soon after her arrival and was removed to the home of her other daughter, Mrs. Frank Arner, where she is now in critical condition. Mrs. Lola Olive Thompson Arner was born in Boone County, Arkansas about 36 years ago. She was married in Ryan to John Arner in 1902. To this union, seven children were born, three of which have preceded their mother in death. Funeral services were conducted at the Frank Arner residence Sunday afternoon at 2:00 by Rev. R. R. Richey, pastor of the Nazarene Church, after which interment took place in the Ryan Cemetery. Deceased is survived by a husband, three little daughters and a son, Roscoe, aged 14. The children will make their home with their Grandmother Arner who lives west of town.
