SPITZER, ALICE LOU
(Jan 1917, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF BABE
On Thursday, January 11th, the angels visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dan
Spitzer and bore away the baby spirit of their infant granddaughter,
little Alice Lou Spitzer, who was born to Mr. and Mrs. Joe Spitzer,
December 26th, 1916.
Mrs. Spitzer, whose home is at Sour Lake, Texas, came on a visit last
summer and remained during the fall and winter in order that a little son
might receive treatment here and regain his health before returning home.
While only 16 days old, the little one had won a place in the home that
can never more be filled.  She being the only daughter, the mother and two
little sons were so eager to return home where Mr. Spitzer was so anxious
to welcome the little daughter.
She was taken sick on Saturday with pneumonia and all was done for her
that loving hands could do.
Mr. Spitzer arrived Wednesday night from Sour Lake, Texas.  Their many
friends here join us in extending sympathy to the bereaved mother and
father and other loved ones.
The funeral services were conducted by Bro. Brubaker at the home of Dan
Spitzer, Friday morning at eleven o'clock, after which the body was laid
to rest by the side of two little brothers who have gone before.
