FOSTER, FORENCE AGNES
(21 Aug 1907, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
OBITUARY.  Florence Agnes Foster, eldest daughter  of Brother Frank and
Maggie Foster, departed this life August 12, 1907, after an illness of two
or three weeks.  Florence never seemed to have recovered from the attack
of measles which she had in the spring.  She was born December 7, 1892,
making her fourteen years eight months and five days old.  About one year
ago this month Florence was genuinely converted and united with the
Methodist Episcopal church South, a few days after her conversion.  Those
who were immediately acquainted with her knew her to be a christian.  In
speaking of the meeting that is now in progress at the Walker camp ground
she expressed a very great anticipation of the joy of being permitted to
associate with those who were converted and joined the church the same
time she did.  Little did she or her parents dream that on the very day
the meeting began that she would say "goodbye" to friends and things of
earth.  We sympathize with the bereaved ones, in the loss of this flower
that was just budding into beauty but Florence is not dead, for her life
was hid with Christ in God.  The funeral was conducted at the home five
miles and a half west of Elk City, by her pastor assisted by Bro. Meeks,
after which she was laid away in the Elk City cemetery to await the
resurrection of the just.
