MAYER, WILLIAM DINWIDDLE
(21 Oct 1908, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Obituaries.
William Dinwiddle Mayer, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Mayer, was born in
Sturgeon, Mo., Feb 27, 1890, and died in Elk City last Saturday afternoon,
Oct. 17, 1908.  The funeral sermon was preached at the family residence on
Broadway, Sunday afternoon at 2:30, by Rev. Randle to a large concourse of
people and sympathizing friends.  A very large procession followed him to
the City Cemetery where he was buried.  Will would soon have been nineteen
years old.  He was affectionate and tender in the home, with especial
reverence and love for his mother.  So sad that he should be taken away
just in the prime of his young manhood when there was so much to inspire
the noblest and best efforts of father, mother and himself in laying the
foundation of true manhood.  The sympathies of the city are with the
bereaved family.
(22 Oct 1908, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
THE REEPER CAME AGAIN
For the second time within a few days death visited the home of D. A.
Mayer, publisher of the News.  this time a son, 18 years of age, he was
buried Sunday in Elk.  He was a fine lad, no better boy in Oklahoma.  Our
sympathies.
