Wyatt Scrapbook - Obituary of Frances Buchanan Bateman

In November 2011, I purchased a scrapbook at an antiques mall in Carson, California. The scrapbook is believed to have belonged to Laurine Wyatt. I am transcribing the articles and documents contained in the scrapbook with the hope that it may be of value to genealogists who may be researching the individuals named.

Followingis one of the loose newspaper clippings that was included in the scrapbookbelieved to have belonged to Laurine Wyatt:
