Mallie, Cleve Fikes, was born in
Tennessee, April the 8th, 1886.
Died December the 12th, 1933, aged
47 years, 8 months, and four days.
  Was married to Miss Florence Mc-
Dowell, June the 6th, 1915.  To this
union were born four children, name-
ly: Rupert Ray, who preceded him
in death; Mary Edna, Martha May,
and Henry Cleve, who with their
mother are left to mourn his death.
  He also leaves two brothers, char-
lie and Posey Fikes, who reside in
Tennessee, and one sister, Mrs.
Myrtle Braswell, of Adolphus, Ken.,
beside a hose of other relatives and 
friends to mourn his death.
  He gave his heart to God and
joined the Advent Christian Church
at Lela hill, Texas, in August, 1931,
and was ordained a Deacon in this
church, in 1932.
  Brother Fikes was a true Christian
and was loved by every one who
knew him and will be sorely missed
in his church, community, and his
home, but we sorrow not, as others,
who have no hope, for we cherish a
sweet and blessed hope of meeting
our brother again on the morning 
of the resurrection.
  Words of comfort were spoken by
the writer, assisted by Brother
Montgomery, of Mayfield, Okla.
  We laid him to rest in the May-
field Cemetery, there to await the
call of the great life-giver.
  Fatheree Funeral Directors in
charge.
