CLINE, ALAN VANDIVIER
(8 Sep 1930, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
ALAN V. CLINE DIES IN INDIANA.  Final Rites for Son of Elk City Couple to
be Held Today.
Alan Vandivier Cline, 5, son of Mr. and Mrs. Yandell C. Cline, of Elk
City, died Saturday night at the home of Mrs. Cline's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. O. L. Vandivier, at Franklin, Indiana.  Death was due to a
noncontagious type of meningitis of which he had been ill for nearly five
weeks.
Funeral services were held this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Vandivier
home with burial in the Greenlawn Cemetery at Franklin.  The services were
in charge of Dr. W. H. Books and Dr. Alexander Sharp, ministers of
Columbus, Indiana.
Alan was on a vacation trip with his mother and sister, Barbara Ann, at
the time that he was taken ill.  He was attended by three physicians,
including an Indianapolis specialist, but little hope for his recovery was
held from the first.  A nurse, especially trained in the care of child
patients, attended him.
The youth moved to Elk City with his parents about a year ago when his
father became publisher of The Daily News.  He had been ill earlier in the
summer but recovered although he was taken sick again soon after arriving
in Indiana.
In addition to his parents he is survived by the one sister, Barbara Ann. 
All are now in Franklin, Indiana.
