DAVIS, LAURA
(11 Apr 1924, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Laura Davis, the young devoted wife of Cleo Davis of Carter, died at
their home here Friday morning, April 11th, after several weeks of
illness.
She leaves a devoted young husband and two young children, Jack the eldest
and Billie John, the baby, to mourn her passing away.  Her father, Mr. E.
J. Davis, also survives her as well as several brothers and sisters.
The funeral services will be at the Carter Cemetery at 1:30 on Friday
afternoon.
The heart broken young husband certainly has the sympathy of everybody
here for they can realize to some extent the great ordeal that he is
having to go through in giving up his loving companion.
(18 Apr 1924, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
After a few weeks illness and much suffering, Mrs. Cleo Davis passed away
at her home at Carter early Friday morning April 11, 1924.  Every care
possible was given the deceased one by those dear to her as they watched
by her bed side until life ebbed away.
Mrs. Cleo Davis was born a few miles south-west of Carter, on the old
Davis homestead, September 1, 1904 where she lived until her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. E. J. Davis, moved to Carter, when she was a mere child.  Laura,
as she was known amongst her friends and all who knew her, entered the
Carter School and there made many friends whom she prized until death. 
She loved her friends and seemed to find joy and life in doing and making
life happy for others.  On October the (blank), 1920 she was married to
Mr. Cleo Davis, well known and industrious young man, of Carter, and
together they entered upon the path of life together.  On the lots given
the happy couple by Laura's father, they built a cozy little home and here
she entertained her friends with much pride and joy.
Interment was made in the Carter Cemetery Friday afternoon at 2:30 with
Rev. McCollum, Baptist Minister, officiating.  The service was very
impressive and words of great consolation were spoken to the bereaved
ones.  A chorus of young folks chanted beautiful and fitting songs as the
many friends and loved ones paid last respects to the mother, sister,
daughter and friend who was loved amongst us.  The floral offerings were
many and beautiful.  Besides her many, many friends Mrs. Davis leaves many
devoted loved ones who mourn her loss:  A devoted husband, Mr. Cleo Davis,
two small children, Cleo Jack, age 2 years and Billy John, age 1 year.  A
faithful father, Mrs. E. J. Davis.  Brothers, sisters and their families:

and mother-in-law; Mr. and Mrs. B. O. Davis; Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Davis; Mr.
