HALLMON, WILLIAM WARREN
(10 Apr 1924, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
William Warren Hallmon died Friday April 3rd, from meningitis following
measles, aged three years and five months.  He was born near Elk City Nov.
1st, 1920.
How anxiously the doting parents watched over their little one when he was
sick.  After great suffering the little one passed sweetly into the rest
where the all is peace, happiness and joy.  He was such a little comfort
and ever a joy in the home.  How he watched after his mamma when she was
not well.  Not long ago when she was sick he made her lie down by the fire
while he went ahead to wash the dishes for her, going every little while
to see that she was all right.  The brave little fellow was so thoughtful
for one of his age.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the Baptist Church
conducted by Rev. E. D. Hamilton, and the body laid to rest in Fairlawn
cemetery.
Sorrow is expressed by everyone for the young parents who have had to give
up their only child.  He was the first grandchild of Mrs. W. T. Adkins and
she loved him like her own.
The News Democrat wishes to join the many friends in extending deepest
sympathy to the bereaved ones.
