BRINKLEY, CLITHERAL FRANK
(10 Mar 1927, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Clitheral Frank Brinkley, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Brinkley,
was born October 6, 1926, near Colony, Okla.  He was attacked with the flu
on the 12th day of February, which developed into pneumonia on the 19th,
causing his death on March 6, 1927.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Lemmex of the First Christian
Church at the Union Cemetery, where the little body was laid to rest.  On
the morning of March 7 cars were packed full of friends and relatives who
went to meet other friends and relatives where the darling was laid to
rest, thirty miles north of Elk City at the Union Cemetery. 
Gentry-Killough in charge.
No longer than Saturday the father worked away from home, content that his
baby was almost well.  He slept Saturday night while one of the family sat
up alone to see that the child wanted for nothing, but at 6 o'clock the
family was awakened only to see him dying.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for their kindness shown
us during the eighteen days of sickness and death of our darling little
boy, Clitheral Frank.  Words cannot express the blessings we wish upon
you.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Brinkley,
Mrs. Mary L. Brinkley and children,
Thomas A. Brinkley and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Ruben Brinkley.
