MAPLES, LEWIS H.
(Dec 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
LEWIS H. MAPLES.
The many friends of L. H. (Lewis) Maples, will regret to hear of his
passing away on the evening of Dec. 27th, at his home near Cadiz, Texas,
after a short illness of influenza, which developed into pneumonia.  Mr.
Maples was well known in this city, as he was employed in the Steam
Laundry for several years.
Deceased was born in Morgan County, Alabama, September 7th, 1887, and was
therefore in his 31st year at the time of his passing away.  He was
married to Miss Marie Wilson December 15, 1907.  To this union was born
three children, all of whom with his wife survive.  He united with the
Baptist Church at this place in August 1917, to which he was a devoted
member.
Funeral services were held from the home conducted by Rev. Thomas, Baptist
minister of Oakville, Texas, after which the remains were laid to rest in
the Lebanon cemetery near Cadiz.
Besides his wife and children, he is survived by his parents, three
brothers and four sisters all of Wapanucka, Okla.
We extend sympathy to the bereaved family, but may they be resigned to God
who doeth all things well.
