PORTER, ALBERT SIDNEY
(22 Mar 1929, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Albert Sidney Porter died at his home, five miles southeast of town, at
3:30 Monday afternoon of an acute attack of pneumonia.  Although he had
been in poor health for some time, he was not seriously sick till Sunday
morning.
He was born at Cedar Hill, Dallas county, Texas, February 22, 1875.  He
married there and lived there till about twenty-one years ago, when he
moved to Oklahoma.  He was very successful here, accumulating a handsome
competency and building a reputation for sterling manhood that would
ornament any life.  He was a member of the Protestant Methodist church and
the Odd Fellow Lodge, and lived up to the tenets of both organizations.
He is survived by his wife, two sons, Nolan Porter of Sentinel and Lyman
Porter, who is at home, a daughter, Miss Olga Porter, who is attending
school at Weatherford, and a brother and sister.
Funeral services were held at the family home conducted by Rev. C. C.
Williamson of the local Methodist church.  One of the largest gatherings
that has paid tribute to the popularity of any citizen of this section
attended his funeral and burial.  At the open grave the Odd Fellows lodge
rendered their beautiful burial ceremony, which was exemplified by the
Granite degree team.
