MC GAUGH, BERNICE BEATRICE
(31 Oct 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
GROVER AND BERNICE McGAUGH
SISTER FOLLOWS HER BROTHER IN DEATH
Death has again invaded the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. J. McGaugh, and laid
his icy hand upon their youngest daughter, Bernice Beatrice, her death
occurring last Thursday, October 24, 1918, just one week from the day
their son Grover Jerome McGaugh  and his wife had passed to the Great
Beyond.
Bernice was born at Delhi, July 17th, 1903, and was 15 years, 3 months and
7 days old.  She was a ray of sunshine in the home and everywhere she
went, and will be greatly missed by the parents, brothers, sisters and
friends.  She was an affectionate and conscientious girl and made friends
of all who knew her.  She was converted in the meeting of the M. E.
Church, South, when thirteen years of age, and her sweet christian life
was manifested in gentleness, kindness and love to others.
Her body was prepared for burial by Geo. Grubitz and taken to Sayre Sunday
on the train, where friends met and escorted the remains to Delhi
cemetery, where a few days before the double funeral of her brother and
his wife was held.  The M.W.A. Lodge at Sayre, looked after the
arrangements from there.  Rev. J. L. Davis had charge of the funeral
services at the grave, he also assisting at the funeral of Mr. and Mrs.
Grover McGaugh.  It was sad indeed that the parents were unable to attend
the funeral of their children, because of the illness of themselves and
other members of the family.
The brothers and sisters of Bernice and Grover McGaugh are Mrs. Eula
Gibson, V. V. and Irene McGaugh of Elk City, Mrs. Zula Uptegrove and Mrs.
Ruth Killian of Delhi, Okla., and Calvin McGaugh, who is now in the army
in France.
May God comfort this stricken family and be their help and strength in
these sad hours.
