MACKLIN, HARRY GLEN
(17 Apr 1925, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
The people of Berlin vicinity were very sorry to know of the death of
Harry Glen Macklin, the 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Macklin, who
passed away at the home of his parents, April 6th, 1925.
His death was so sudden, he being ill only four days; and he will be
greatly missed by his mother, father, four sisters and four brothers, who
survive him, as well as his host of friends; including all of his little
school mates.  His last words were spoken, concerning his teacher, Louie
Carr and his class mates, among whom he was a favorite.
It is beyond our understanding that one so young and full of promises
should be taken into the great beyond but still we are comforted by the
thought that God knows best.
The funeral services were conducted by W. Klopfenstein in Century
building.  He had known Glen from infancy and spoke many comforting words
to the bereaved ones.  As the casket was being lowered into the grave at
Berlin cemetery his teacher and class mates each placed a flower on it.
The people of Berlin extend their tenderest sympathy to the bereaved
family and may God console their troubled hearts is the wish of neighbors
and friends.
