FOLKS, JAMES
(6 Jul 1928, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Mr. James Folks Dies at Arapaho.
Mr. James Folks, one of the old settlers of this part of the country, died
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Carey McInturff of Arapaho on Sunday
July 1st at the age of 73 years.
Mr. Folks had been failing in health for some time.  He had spent quite a
bit of time here with his son, J. W. Folks and family and also with his
other children at different points, but for several months he has not been
able to get about much and has been with his daughter Mrs. Carey McInturff
at whose home he died.
When Mr. Folks first came to this part of the country he lived at Port for
quite a while, later buying a farm and moving to the Poarch community
where he lived for several years.  Being a good man and good neighbor he
has made a host of friends wherever he went and all join in extending
sympathy to the bereaved sons and daughters and other relatives.
The remains were brought to Carter and the funeral was held at the Baptist
church on Monday afternoon, Rev. Owens of Clinton conducting the funeral
services.  Interment was made at the Carter cemetery, a large crowd being
present at both church and cemetery.
