BRODRICK, MAGGIE B.
(The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham, Ok, 12 October 1917)
Death visited the home of Mr Tom Brodrick and took away his daughter,
Maggie Brodrick, Oct 7th 1917, age 17 years, 5 months and 28 days.
Maggie was converted last August at the Methodist meeting at Indian Creek
School house.  She was also a candidate for membership in the Methodist
Church at the same place.  She was very steady and quiet-a perfect lady in
disposition, very kind to her associates.  She did not live very long in
the battle of the Lord, but she left a good evidence that she went home to
heaven to live with God and all of the redeemed of all the passages.  The
death of Maggie is our great loss and heaven's gain.
She leaves a mother and father and some sisters and brothers to mourn her
death.
Our expectations concerning Maggie were great, and our hopes and aims to
meet her again are just as great.  When we think of the home she is
enjoying, we should take new courage and fight the battle harder and do
more for Christ in the future than in the past. J. W. Quaid, Pastor Indian
Creek Church.

Miss Maggie Broddrick, the seventeen year old daughter of Mr and Mrs Tom
Broddrick, died at their home north of Carter last Sunday morning about
eight o'clock of typhoid fever.
Miss Broddrick had been down with the fever for some time and was so much
better last week that it was thought that she was out of danger when she
was taken worse with hemorages which resulted in her death as above
stated.
The remains were laid to rest at the Carter Cemetery Monday.
The Express extends sympathy to the bereaved family in the loss of their
dear one.
