GILBERT, T. A.
(20 Mar 1913, Thursday, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Mr. H. A. Gilbert's Father Dead.
Our esteemed fellow townsman Mr. Ab Gilbert returned last week from
Collinsworth (sic), Texas, where he had been in response to a telegram
announcing the serious illness of his father.  Mr. Gilbert failed to reach
the bedside of his father in time to see him alive.
Mr. T. A. Gilbert died March 4, 1913, at his home near Collinsville,
Texas, aged about 68 years.  He had been sick only about 5 days his death
being due to a stroke of paralysis.
Funeral services were conducted at the Christian Church at Collinsville by
Mr. Gilbert's pastor, Elder E. H. Rogers, and interment was made in the
Collinsville Cemetery.
Mr. Gilbert had been a consistent member of the Christian Church for a
number of years and the example of his upright living will linger in the
memory of those who know him until they shall have gone to join him in the
Great Beyond.
Mr. Gilbert is survived by his widow and five children as follows:  Ella
(Mrs. M. Tipton of Collinsville, Texas); Janey (Mrs. W. S. Miller of
Tioga, Texas); Myrtle (Mrs. Joseph Woolsey of Rockport, Indiana); Charles
Gilbert of Paris, Texas; Henry A. (Ab) Gilbert of Erick, and Lee Gilbert
who lived with his parents at Collinsville, all of whom except Mr. Ab
Gilbert of Erick and Mrs. Woolsey of Rockport, Indiana, were present when
the end came.
The bereaved widow will continue to live at the old home with her youngest
son, Mr. Lee Gilbert.
Mr. Ab Gilbert has the sympathy of his many friends here in his bereavement.
