GARNETT, JOE RANDALL
(Jul 1917, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Seldom has it been our duty to record so sudden a death as that of little
"Jodie" Garnett, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Garnett, who passed away early
Friday morning, after a brief illness of eight hours with something like
ptomaine poisoning.
Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church, South, on Saturday
afternoon conducted by Rev. Allen.  At the request of the mother, the
choir sang "Jesus Wants You For a Sunbeam."  The little form was laid to
rest in beautiful Fairlawn cemetery, these services being in charge of
Grubitz & Son.
Joe Randall, or Jodie, as he was called, was born Dec. 25, 1914, and was 2
years, 6 months and 12 days old.  He was the eldest child and only son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Garnett.  A little baby sister whom he loved so dearly
and who was his delight, is left.  Jodie was such a sweet, good child and
had bright and winning ways.  Everyone who knew him loved him.
To Mr. and Mrs. Garnett the sympathy of the community is extended, though
friends may sympathize, only the Heavenly Father can share their burden.
