A Card of Thanks.
We wish to extend our heart felt thanks to our many friends and neighbors
who so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of our children. 
We also want to express thanks for the beautiful floral offerings.  Mr.
and Mrs. R. D. Embree.
(5 Jun 1907, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Claud Elmer, age 16 years, 5 months and 15 days, and Raymond Dinwiddle,
age 5 years, 3 months and 6 days; sons of Rollie Davis and Martha Myra
Embree departed this life May 4th and 6th., respectively; their deaths
being due to measles; aggravated by an attack of pneumonia, neither was
sick but a short time.  This is the second time death has claimed, almost
together, two of their precious children.  Death claimed their first born
baby, John Rouse, when but a few months old.  Later, that dread disease,
diptheria took from that happy home the two little brothers, Davis and
Hugh.  It is hard to give them up, one by one but when the angel of death
comes into the home and reaches out both hands bears away two of the
precious ones at the same time, it is more than doubly hard on those left
to mourn.
Little Raymond Dinwiddie, was born Jan. 30, 1902, and departed this life
May 6, 1907, being 5 years, 3 months and 6 days of age.
