DEWEY, MABEL
(18 Sep 1907, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mabel Dewey, a young lady well known to many of the early citizens of Elk
City, died of typhoid fever at the home of her step-father, Robert Keen,
who lives seventeen miles west of here.  The body was brought here and
interred at the City cemetery, Saturday afternoon.
Mabel had many warm friends among her acquaintances here.  She and her
mother, Mrs. Robert Keen here (were) among the early residents of Elk
City.  Her death is greatly regretted as she was a young lady of great
promise.
(25 Sep 1907, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DIED.  Near Pilot, Okla., Friday, September 13, 1907, Miss Mabel Dewey,
aged 18 years; our friend and neighbor girl.  Oh, may the bright angels be
standing ready to receive her into glory, where her rest will be eternal. 
Friends and relatives do not weep for sweet Mabel for you must all sooner
or later cross the same chilly tide into the great beyond.  Written by a
friend.
