Obit pub. Times, April 24, 1924
Lavonia Adora Harrelson was born July 24, 1862, departed this life April 20, 1924, age 62 years, 8 months and 26 days.  She was married to H. T. Vickers December 7, 1892.  To this union three children were born, Mrs. Rella McMahon, Mrs. Nellie Grimes and Lofton Vickers.  She leaves a companion, three children, one sister and a host of other relatives and friends. She professed faith in Christ several years ago, and lived a faithful Christian until death. She has gone to make the land that is fairer than day still brighter.  A voice we loved is stilled, a place is vacant in our home that never can be filled. Funeral service was held at Prospect church April 21st at 11 o'clock conducted by Rev. C. M. Prince of Norris City and the body was laid to rest until the resurrection morning.  Burial: Prospect Cemetery.
