OBITUARY

Willis Eugene Calvert, son of W. T.and Flora Calvert, was born in Elk county, 
Kansas, July 3rd, 1899, and died at Sapulpa, Oklahoma, December 20th, 1927.  
He made profession of faith in Christ uniting with the Christian church in 
Howard under the evangelistic meeting held by O. L. Smith in 1917 and had 
since retained his membership therein.  He graduated from the Howard High 
school with the class of 1919 after which time he taught school at different 
places in the county.  He was married August 1st, 1920 to Miss Gladys Moffitt 
to which union was born one little daughter.  He leaves to mourn his death his 
father and mother, one brother and the daughter; two sisters and one brother 
had preceded him to the Spirit Land, and hosts of dear friends here and 
elsewhere. Willis was always thoughtful of others and made many friends as he 
went through life.  Although he was not privileged to be at home in the last 
hours, he died with friends around his bed to minister to him.  Funeral 
services were conducted from the Christian church Wednesday, December 21, in 
charge of the pastor, W. B. McKinney assisted by Rev. Bayles of the Baptist 
church, and interment was made in Grace Lawn cemetery.  The following friends 
of the deceased acted as pallbearers: M. M. Munsinger, A. E. Bendure, Forest 
Stone, Howard Gibbons, Frank Stewart, Willis Mason, and Rex Tarwater. A host 
of friends and neighbors join in extending to Mr. and Mrs. Calvert and all the 
bereaved family most sincere sympathy and pray that the gracious blessing of 
Almighty God may rest richly upon them.
