STEVENS, JOHN THOMAS
(2 Mar 1922, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
J. T. STEVENS DEAD
John Thomas Stevens died Saturday night, March 4th, after a lingering
illness of several months, aged 49 years.  The body was taken to Butler,
Oklahoma (Custer County), on Sunday for interment.
He leaves a wife and six children, two of whom are married, and the
youngest is about thirteen years of age.  Also three sisters, a brother
living near Butler and one near Hammon.
For several weeks Mr. Stevens suffered intensely and his neighbors and
friends say they never saw a more patient person.  They speak in the
highest terms of the deceased, saying he was a good christian man and
everyone liked him.  He was a hard working man.
For two years he and his family have been living on one of the Harris
farms, two miles southwest of Elk City, known as the Mac Gowdy place.
The News-Democrat joins with their many friends in extending deepest
sympathy to the bereaved ones.
