GILLILAND, GROVER CLINT
(29 Dec 1927, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Grover Clint Gilliland was born in Springtown, Texas, December 24, 1889,
died at his home in Carter, Okla., December 28, 1927, age 38 years, 4
days.  Interment in Retrop Cemetery, Gentry-Killough in charge.
(30 Dec 1927, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Mr. G. C. Gilliland of Carter, who had been sick for a long time, passed
away about 9 o'clock on Wednesday night of this week.
While everyone knew that Mr. Gilliland was in a serious condition when he
returned from his southern Texas trip about two months ago yet his
relatives and numerous friends still had hopes that he would succeed in
his fight against the ravages of the disease that he was afflicted with
and that he would gain back his health again.  But it seemed that no
permanent benefit could be obtained.  When he and his wife went down to
southern Texas his relatives and many friends hoped that the warm southern
climate would be a great help to him but instead of it improving his
condition it seemed to disagree with him as his condition appeared to be
worse when he returned to this part of the country.
In the death of G. C. Gilliland his family has lost a kind and loving
father and the town and community has lost one of its very best citizens. 
We do not believe that a better man or finer citizen than G. C. Gilliland
resided in this part of the country.
The deceased left a loving and devoted wife and daughter, and other
relatives, who are heart broken on account of his death.  We extend to
these our sympathy in the loss of their loved one.
The remains were laid to rest in the Retrop cemetery.  The business houses
of Carter were all closed during the funeral hour in honor of the memory
of a life for which everyone has a word of praise.
(6 Jan 1928, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for their loving deeds of
kindness and words of sympathy shown us during the illness and death of
our loved one.
Mrs. G. C. Gilliland
Ora Gilliland
Mrs. J. J. Hines and family
Mrs. Charley Masterson and family
Mr. J. P. Ensey and son
Mrs. J. H. Hodges and family.
