STANDINGWATER, MALE
(5 May 1925, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
AGED INDIAN GOES TO HAPPY HUNTING GROUND
(Hammon Adovacte - Roger Mills County)
Monday night, April 13, Old Man Standing-In-Water, an aged Cheyenne
Indian, passed over the Great Divide, and his tired soul started on the
final lap of its journey to the "happy hunting grounds."  Deceased was
about 70 years old, and is survived by three sons, Sam, Francis and
Russell, all of whom reside in this section.
The funeral and interment occurred at Red Moon Tuesday, Rev. Cliewer, the
Menonite missionary performing the last rites.  (Buried Bethel Mennonite
Cemetery, Custer County, Okla.)
The casket which bore the last remains of this venerable Red Man was sold
by Herring & Young and Manager Roby said it was one of their finest.
