GIBBONS, GLADYS LEONA
(31 Oct 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Glady (sic) Leona Gibbons, daughter of H. B. Gibbons, was born in Elk
City, October 24th, 1906, and has lived for the past few years southwest
of this city.  She has not been in good health for some time and when she
took ill with influenza she was sick but a short time until the end came,
October 23rd, 1918, just the day before her twelfth birthday.
Funeral services were held last Friday afternoon at the grave in the
Fairlawn cemetery, by Rev. W. A. Posey, assisted by Rev. M. T. Allen. 
Sweet songs were sung by members of the choir, who had been present at
Mrs. Van Auken's funeral.
The father and little brother were unable to be present because of
illness, and the mother's grief touched the hearts of all.  Kind friends
offered sympathy and help and did all they could in this sad trial.
Everyone who knew Gladys speak so well of her sweet disposition, and
everyone loved her so.  She was a grand-daughter of Mrs. C. H. Conover.
We desire to express our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones in this
time of great sorrow, and commend them to the loving Heavenly Father, who
doeth all things well.
