Obituary of Eulalia Argetsinger (abt. 1863 - 1956)

It's another obituary from my grandmother's collection today. I think that this person is actually a friend of the family and not a relative. The last name of "ARGETSINGER" is unusual, at least to me, so I remembered seeing it in my great-great-grandmother Hattie Elizabeth KIRBY AKINS QUICK ALLEN's funeral book on the page for friends to sign:



The names of the friends here for Hattie's funeral are:

L.W. ARGETSINGER, Jr.
Mrs. L. W. ARGETSINGER, Jr.
Thelma FULLER
Ora BAKER
Betty ESHERBAUGH
Genevieve NEWBERRY
Mildred BUSH

Now, looking at the obituary of Eulalia ARGETSINGER shows she has a son, Lafayette W. ARGETSINGER.


So, my guess would be that either Eulalia was a friend of my great-great-grandmother Hattie (they were born only a couple years apart), or perhaps Lawrence ARGETSINGER or his wife was a friend of either Hattie's son Charles AKINS or her daughter Cornelia AKINS MIX SIMPSON.
