Beckham County, OK - Obits: Mary M. Ward, 1910 Friday, 13 February 2009 Submitted by: delma25@pldi.net (Delma Tindell) ************************************************ Copyright.

(16 Sep 1910, Friday, Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK): The people of our community were severely shocked last Sunday evening when the news was telephoned over the neighborhood that Mrs. Robt. Ward had been stricken down with Appoplexy (sic) of the brain, and had died very suddenly. A woman who seemed to be in the very bloom of health is cut down and crosses the great divide. Of course we know that death is natural, and we will all have to die sooner or later, but it is indeed sad to see a loving and kind mother taken away from a lot of young children, just at the time they need the affectionate care, and watchful eye, of a mother to guide and teach them in the right way, as only a mother can. The remains were laid to rest in the Poarch cemetery, funeral services being conducted by Dr. Henry. We extend to the grief stricken husband and children our sincere sympathy and condolence. ---John Ward was up from Sentinel attending the funeral of Mrs. Robert Ward, Monday. --------------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ok/beckham/beckham.htm
