WALDROP, ANNA LEE
(15 Aug 1930, Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Anna Lee Waldrop, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. U. N. Waldrop, of Carter died
at their home Tuesday at 1:10 o'clock after an illness of 14 weeks.
Anna Lee was born the 26th of December 1914 and died August 12th, 1930,
being nearly 16 years old.  She was a sweet, lovable little girl, who was
always very devoted to her home and parents, and an inspiration to all who
knew her.
She was very energetic in her class in both school and Sunday School,
holding special attendance records for several years.  She was a Sophomore
in the Carter School at the time of her death.
Anna Lee will be sadly missed by the people of Carter by her teachers and
the pupils of the school and the Sunday School which she attended for she,
in her quite (sic) sweet way was loved by them all.
The funeral services were held at the Church of Christ on Wednesday
morning by C. E. McGaughey, pastor of the Church of Christ at Elk City. 
The church was filled to overflowing, there being more on the outside of
the building than inside.
The floral offerings were many and very beautiful.  The High School was
dismissed and the teachers and pupils attended in a body.  The Pall
Bearers were six boys chosen from the Sophomore class.
There remains to mourn her loss, her mother and father, who have watched
over her so tenderly, her five brothers, Oscar, of Los Angeles,
California; Claudie, of Carter; Frank of Guymon, Oklahoma; Willie of
Spearman, Texas; and Floyd of Carter and two sisters, Verna May and Jewel.
To these, her dearest relatives, we, with the people of Carter and
vicinity extend our deepest sympathy in this their time of sorrow.
Interment was made in the Poarch cemetery, a large crowd following the
remains to their last resting place.
