ADAMS, DAVID W.
(3 Nov 1927, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham County, OK):
David Adams quietly and peacefully went to dwell in his Heavenly home at
the age of 97 years.  Grandpa, as everyone lovingly called him, was loved
by old and young alike.  Three sons and three daughters are left to mourn
the loss of a dear father.
The family feel grateful to all who helped in any way to comfort in this
sad hour.  Rev. Carman spoke some comforting words to the relatives and
friends.  Grandpa often spoke of his Heavenly home, and was anxious and
ready to go, and we know though it is hard to see him taken from our
sight, it is well with him, and he is at rest, and will not suffer any
more.  Grandpa was tenderly laid to rest in beautiful West Fairlawn
Cemetery.  The family desire to express their gratitude to the physician
who was so kind and every ready to relieve Grandpa of his suffering, also
the friends and neighbors for the little acts of thoughtfulness to him. 
They appreciate Mrs. Perry for her comforting words, and for her help with
the music that was so wonderfully sweet, especially it seemed with the
rain coming down in torrents.
-Written by One Who Loved Grandpa.
