This grave stone is obviously handmade by someone who loved Mrs. Lois Straley very much. Cary and I have done some research on Newspapers.com, FindaGrave.com, and Ancestry.com, with little results. This is what we learned…Olita “Lois” Loven (also found spelled “Lovin”) was born in Fisher County, Texas on March 14, 1915. Her father had come to Texas from Arkansas. Lois was one of eight children.
She married J. H. Straley, and they had a child, Lonnie James Straley, in 1932. Her death certificate lists her as a housewife. 
She and her husband lived in Brownwood when she died at 3:30 in the morning on October 9, 1933. She was only 18-years-old, and her child was one. She had gotten a blood transfusion the day before her death. On her death certificate, the cause of death was listed as “acute infection of the face.”
When I look at this grave marker, I am struck by the fact that someone REALLY must have loved her. The making of this memorial would have cost almost nothing, but the love put into it is just beautiful. -Freda
