MEDLEY, GEORGE
(6 Feb 1907, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
George Medley died at his home near Grandview at two o'clock Sunday
morning of a paralytic stroke.  He was taken ill Monday morning while
helping his little daughter wash the dishes.  He will be greatly missed in
his home.  The deceased was 74 years old.  A year ago his loving wife was
called to that better land above and about two months ago his youngest
son, Henry, was shot, and instantly killed with a shot gun.  The deceased
leaves to mourn his loss two sons, three daughters and a host of friends. 
Weep not dear children for thy father is only resting in Jesus arms and
awaiting and watching to receive his dear children and his loved ones.  O!
how sweet to trust in Jesus and be prepared to meet our loved ones who
have gone on before us.  Weep not dear one for it was God's will not ours.
The Elk City Masons took charge of the funeral Sunday eve at his home.  On
account of cold and blustry (sic) weather a short funeral service was held
at the home.  The body of the deceased was laid to rest in Grandview
cemetery by the side of his loving wife and son.  The deceased was a good
man and will be greatly missed.  His many friends join in sympathy for the
bereaved ones who are left to mourn his loss which is God's gain.
