BLEVINS, MALE
(8 Sep 1910, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Written in Sacred Memory of the Infant Son of Mr. and Mrs. John Blevins. 
August 27, 1910.
In a little snow white casket,
A cherished plant now lies,
More beautiful than lillies in a basket,
But he's gone to bloom in yonder skyes.
He was transplanted oh! so tenderly,
As if we would not care,
Without even a glance at his mother
Who held him an idol, dear.
Oh! Death, why chasten me?
With grief, it seems I cannot bear.
Still hope lingers, I pray to see
My Babe, and dwell with him o'er there.
This life is not all in vain,
It is just a fleeting day;
Filled with trouble and anguish pain,
Not a pleasant place forever to stay.
Death is to call us to a place,
In a happy beautiful land.
If we live righteous we shall stand
With God and his angels in that land.
Dear parents, your babe is only a little cherub,
Gone to dwell with the holy band above.
You now have a loving little tie,
To prepare to meet in the sweet bye and bye.
May God's blessings rest upon you is my prayer.  Mrs. Clara Carpenter,
Canute, Oklahoma.
