DYER, NETTIE
 
B. 1857
D. 28 May 1925
Carter Cemetery
Beckham Co OK
 
  Grandma Dyer, as she was 
known to the people of Cater
and surrounding country, died
at the home of her son Charley,
here on Thursday evening, May
28th following a long and pain-
full illness during which time she 
was sufferer of that dreaded
disease, cancer and complications.
She had bee ill for many months
during which time everything
possible was done to stop the 
disease.  Not only had local
physicians done all in the pow-
er for her , but she had made
several trips to Oklahoma City
to be treated by a specialist, but
she continued to grow worse
and her last few months were
spent in the home of her son
Charley, where he and his wife,
assisted by other children and
friends did all in their power to 
make her last days as free from
pain and care as possible.
  Mrs. Dyer was a pioneer resi-
dent of this country having come
here more than 25 years ago
with her husband, Uncle Dick
Dyer, who then filed on a farm
in the Poarch community, no
owned by Mr. Golden.
   Mrs. Dyer was preceeded in 
death by her husband only a few
months, Uncle Dick having died
on the 26th of last September,
and while she will be greatly
missed by her children for whom
she had son so much, death
came as a relief to her from
long hours of suffering and sor-
row.
  The funeral services were con-
ducted at the Carter cemetery
on Friday afternoon by Rev. B.
D. Griggs.
