Obituary: Elk City newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, Ok, 6 Feb 1925:
BLACKBURN, FRANK LESTER
Death of Baby.
Little Frank Lester Blackburn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Blackburn, residing
two miles of Berlin, was buried here Monday.  The little baby was four
months and eleven days of age.  He was born Sunday, Sept. 21, 1924 and
died Sunday, February 1, 1925, about the same hour of his birth.  He had
been sick several days.
The funeral was held at the cemetery building at Berlin by Rev. Smith who
said so many things to help the bereaved parents in this great trial.  His
scripture lesson was from the 15th to 23rd verse of 12th Chapter 2nd
Samuel, also part of the 14 Chapter of St. John.
The little one leaves his parents and a little brother to mourn his loss. 
Mrs. Blackburn will be remembered as Miss Grace Johnson whose parents
reside in Elk City.
Little Frank blossomed on earth to bloom in heaven.
A number from Elk City came to the funeral.  A large crowd was present and
all could not be seated.  The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the
entire community.
