FLORA, THEODORE JOEL
(27 Mar 1907, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DIED.  Theodore Joel Flora, infant child of Louis and Jennie Flora, was
born April 19th, 1907, at Elk City, Okla., being one month and one day
old.  He was a large child of his age and gave promise of a great future
but the destroying angel of disease claimed him as its victim and he
passed away.  We who remain know that our great loss is his eternal gain. 
Rest on beloved, God will give his loved ones rest, such rest as is
prepared for all his children and may little Theodore pass to the higher
realms of day, clothed in garments of purity.
Farewell, but not forever, there will be glorious dawn and we shall meet
on that glorious resurrection morn.
Brother and sister Flora feel in this their bereavement, very thankful to
their many friends for their kindness on this their great trial, in caring
for the sufferer during his short sickness and burial.  The funeral
services were held from the residence of brother and sister Harrison,
father and mother of sister Austin, Elk City, Oklahoma, on Wednesday,
March 20th, 1907, as brother and sister Flora had brought their little one
to the city for treatment, as they lived five miles southeast of Elk City.
 Rev. D. J. M. Wood of the M. E. Church preached the sermon from Mathew,
19th chapter, and 14th verse. "Suffer little children to come unto me, for
such is the kingdom of Heaven."
