MURRAY, COY or KOY
MURRAY, HOYT
(3 Jan 1929, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Coy Murray died at the age of 21 years.  His body was prepared for burial

(10 Jan 1929, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Hoyt Murry (sic) died at his home January 4, 1929, at the age of 16 years
and 5 months.  Funeral services were held at the Baptist church.  Rev. H.
W. Shirley officiated.  Interment was made in Fairlawn cemetery. 
Gentry-Killough in charge.
The double funeral at the First Baptist church last Sunday afternoon when
the last final earthly remains of the two young Murry (sic) boys were laid
to rest, was one of the saddest experiences we have ever witnessed.
Hoyte and Koy Murray, sons of Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Murry, living three miles
south of Elk City, died as a result of flu and pneumonia.  Koy was born
October 2, 1907, in Tennessee, and died December 31, 1928, in Elk City at
the age of 21 years, 2 months and 29 days.
Hoyte was born April 28, 1912, also in the state of Tennessee, and died at
his home south of Elk City January 4, 1929, at the age of 16 years, 8
months and 4 days.
The auditorium of the First Baptist church was crowded to overflowing
Sunday afternoon as friends and acquaintances joined loved ones in their
last tribute of respect for the deceased loved ones.
May the Heavenly Father's richest blessing abound toward, especially the
much bereaved  father and mother, and all the loved ones.  Certainly our
God is too wise to make a mistake and too good to do an injury so
therefore, "All things work together for good to those that love the Lord,
and to those who are called according to His purpose."
