OWENS, ROY
(12 Dec 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Roy Owens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Owens, of the Pixlee vicinity, 
was born in Custer county, Okla., February 4th, 1901, and died December 
4th, 1918, after a brief illness of pneumonia, aged 17 years and 10 months.
What a brief span between the date of birth, and yet how much of usefulness 
it contained.  He was ever a dutiful and loving son and brother, he was 
possessed of a cheerful disposition and held in the highest esteem by all 
who knew him, and his removal from this earth's scenes elicits sincere regret.  
He leaves besides his father and mother, two sisters and one brother, many 
relatives and a large circle of friends, who deeply feel the loss of this 
noble young man.  Owing to the serious illness of several members of the 
family, funeral services were not held at the home, brief services being held 
at the grave in Thompson's cemetery, Thursday at 1 P.M., conducted by J. L. 
Harris, who expressed a befitting eulogy of the many noble traits of the 
character of the deceased.
To the dear ones in the home and all who miss the footsteps and voice that 
will never more be heard, our hearts go out in tenderness, love and sympathy.
Roy is not dead, but gone to a brighter clime above.
Mother hearts are always thrilled with everlasting love.
Mrs. H. W. Conner.
