EVERETT, JOEL E.
(24 Nov 1904, Erick Enterprise, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Death of J. E. Everrett (sic).  Died at his son's, Arthur Everrett's, five
miles southwest of town, on last Sunday night, after only a few days
confinement to his bed, Joel E. Everett, at the age of 69 years.  He was
one of the pioneer business men of this down, having started the J. E.
Everrets & Sons' mercantile establishment here a short time after the town
was started.  He was an ex-Confederate veteran and was a man of true moral
worth, having lived and done as he would that others should do unto him,
and had thereby held the respect and esteem of all who knew him.  He
leaves one daughter and two sons here and one daughter and two sons in
Alabama to mourn his death, but they have the sympathy of all in this
community.
(24 Nov 1904, Erick Newspaper, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Joel E. Everett Died.  Sunday Nov. 20 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W.
R. Henry, near Erick.
Mr. Everett was born in Georgia in 1835, lived there and in Alabama until
he removed to Oklahoma about five years ago.
The cause of Mr. Everett's death was softening of the brain and finally
paralysis of the throat.  He has been ill for several months.  Mr. Everett
was for nearly 30 years a member of the Baptist church.  He is survived by
six children, Mrs. Lexford, of Tierce, Ala., Mrs. W. R. Henry, of Erick;
G. G. and Arthur D. Everett of Erick; J. H. Everett of Berry, Ala., and S.
J. Everett of North Birmingham, Ala.
Mr. Everett lived a long and useful life and is sincerely mourned by a
large circle of friends.  May God's blessing rest upon his grief stricken
family.  Ira Parton, Pastor, Baptist Church.
