Word was received here Monday that Jasper N. Raner had died in the hospital at Arkansas City at 9:35 that morning. Mr. Raner had gone there for special treatment and it was thought that he was improving until a few hours before his death. The remains were brought to Wilmore Wednesday afternoon and the funeral was held from the Baptist church immediately after the arrival of the west bound passenger train, and interment was made in the Wilmore cemetery.
