SCOTT, CLYDE
(5 May 1921, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
The subject of this sketch, Clyde Scott, was born about 18 years ago at
his home 6 miles northeast of Cheyenne.  He was one of twin boys.  His
surviving twin brother is Claud.  Clyde was taken sick with appendicitis
about three weeks before his death which occurred on April 26, 1921, and
his body was laid to rest the evening of the same day in the Strong City
cemetery at Strong City, Oklahoma (Roger Mills County).  During his
sickness everything was done by relatives, friends and able physicians to
bring about his recovery, but without success.  His oldest brother, Lloyd,
father, mother and his aunt, Mrs. Vincent were especially attentive at his
bedside.
Clyde was one of the best boys the writer ever knew.  He at one time
attended my school for a term.  He at the time of his death was a High
School student in the Strong City school.  He was very patient, loving and
appreciative during his last illness and when it was determined that an
operation was necessary he told his loved ones that he was not afraid.
He leaves a father, mother, four brothers, one sister and many other
relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
To all these loved ones we would say that Clyde has only gone before and
will be waiting for us on the blissful shore.  A Friend.
