ENGLAND, WILLIAM B.
(9 Jul 1920, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
W. B. England, one of Carter's leading citizens, died at his home here
early Sunday morning, of palagra, after being confined to his bed for
several weeks.  The disease had probably been working on him though for
several years he had been a sufferer with stomach trouble for a long time,
but did not get serious until a few weeks ago.
Mr. England had been a resident of Carter for more than five years, having
been engaged in the drug business during most of his time, but had also
run a grocery store in connection with other business associates.
In his death Carter loses one of its most highly respected and influential
citizens, his family loses a loving and provident husband and father.  The
people of the town and surrounding country deeply sympathize with the
grief-stricken family.
The funeral service was held at the home of the deceased, Rev. Hayes
having charge of same, after which the body was laid to rest in the Carter
cemetery by the members of the Masonic Order.  A very large crowd of
friends and relatives were present to pay their last respects to the
memory of a useful and beneficial life before the body was laid in the
tomb.
The deceased left a wife and five children, the two older being married.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank our many friends and relatives for their kind services
rendered during the illness and death of our beloved husband, father and
brother, and especially Dr. Shadid who was so attentive with his services.
Mrs. W. B. England and family.
Mrs. Lena Yandell.
Mrs. Bess Finch.
J. J. England and family.
Mrs. D. C. Osborn and family.
