M. and Elisa Gross, died at the home of his grand parents near Retrop, Christmas eve, and was burried (sic) Christmas day at Retrop cemetery. It was certainly a sad Christmas for Mr. and Mrs. Gross. The little fellow told his parents that he would spend his Christmas money for a new suit of clothes instead of Christmas toys. He got the new suit of clothes alright but, sad to say, was burried in them. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Gross offer condolence in this their darkest hours of bereavement and trouble. ---------------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/beckham/beckham.htm
