SOLLERS, EUGENE R.
(9 Aug 1928, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Eugene R. Sollers, son of Geo. L. and Marina Sollers, was born near
Berlin, Okla., (Roger Mills County), Nov. 25, 1906, died at his home near
Plainview, Texas, July 31, 1928.  He was converted at the age of 18 and
united with the Missionary Baptist church at Aiken, Texas.
He leaves to mourn his death, five brothers and four sisters, one sister,
Eunice, preceding him Aug. 16, 1923.  Funeral services were held at the
Berlin M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. H. Woodward.  The host of friends
in attendance and also the large floral offerings presented by his friends
at Plainview and Berlin, attested their love for him.
He was buried in the Berlin cemetery to await the resurrection.
He was the oldest boy and the pride and stay of the home, obedient and
kind to all.  He took sick at his home in Plainview, Texas, with what
developed to be typhoid, but being a strong young man, he felt he could
wear it off, so scarce realized he was bad sick until about a day before
he died.  All was done that could be done, but to no avail.  He remained
conscious until the last, recognizing his sister, who came but a few
minutes before he died.  His testimony of the last few hours was that he
was ready to meet God.
To those who are left to mourn his loss:  your loss is heaven's gain and
we can look forward to that great day "when the spirit of just men made
perfect." shall be reunited with our glorified bodies, and we shall meet
to part no more, where tears and sorrow are strangers, and we shall weep
and sigh no more.
