KARR, ALMA BLANCHE
(11 Mar 1908, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
OBITUARY.
Alma Blanche Karr, was born March 25, 1895, in Polk Co., Arkansas.  In
1899 she came with her parents to Canute, Oklahoma.  She was taken ill
with the Measles which after ten days sickness terminated fatally, on
March 3rd, 1908, at 10:30 a.m. the soul took its flight for happier fields
of light, the home of the soul, in the Paradise of God.
She will be missed by a loving father and mother three sisters and two
brothers, a host of friends and the entire school.  The funeral was
extremely sad owing to the fact that the mother was not able to attend the
funeral, being sick with the same dread disease measles.
The services were conducted from the Canute school house by elder O. O.
Otis of Elk City.  Our sympathy mingling with that of the entire
neighborhood goes out to this unhappy family in bereavement.  Interment
took place March 4th, 1908, at the Canute Cemetery, six school mates were
pall bearers.  Miss Peterson, Miss Bradley, Miss Davis, Miss Johnson, Miss
Hawkins, Miss Hudson.
