(28 Oct 1920, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Clara Faye Darendinger, born at Sayre, Okla., Feb. 7, 1920, died at Elk
City Oct. 13, 1920, aged eight months and six days.  Clara Faye, only
child of John and Clara Perry Darendinger, and much loved by parents and
relatives, as she had always been a little sufferer.  Eminent physicians
had pronounced her case a mystery and all that physicians and loved ones
could do was of no avail, and on Wednesday, Oct. 13, at 2:15 o'clock p.m.,
she closed her eyes and went to her eternal sleep leaving a memory of the
most intelligent little lives ever known.
Funeral services were conducted at the home by their pastor, W. M.
Cochran, amid many relatives and friends, including the little one's
great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Feland, who were much devoted to
her.  After services at Elk City the little body was taken to the
Sayre-Doxey cemetery, where a host of neighbors and friends were awaiting
them, taking charge of the services there, rendering their friendship and
sympathy through a touching song service, Bro. Cochran speaking much
comfort and sympathy through the Scriptures.  All participants of the
service showed the high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Darendinger are held
by their legion of friends.  We know that Clara Faye is in a world of
bliss far superior to ours, where sickness or suffering does not come.
