HADDOCK, JAMES W.
(22 Feb 1912, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
James W, the only son of Mrs. M. A. Haddock, died at his home in the west
part of the city Tuesday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock of congestion of the
lungs and pneumonia, aged twenty years.
The funeral services were held from the Christian church yesterday at

(23 Feb 1912, Texola Herald, Texola, Beckham Co, OK):
James William Haddock, age 20 years, 11 months and 20 days, died at the
home of his mother, Mrs. M. A. Haddock in Erick, Oklahoma, Tuesday,
February 20, 1912, at 2:50 p.m.  About two weeks ago James was taken sick
with conjestion (sic) of the lungs, which developed later into pneumonia.
All that loving hands and medical skill could do to save him was done. 
"Jim" as all the boys knew him was a favorite among us, free hearted and a
Christian gentleman.  He always had a pleasant word for every one, was
upright and honest in his business dealings, and true to his friends.
He joined the Christian church about seven years ago and at the time of
his death he was a sincere Christian, believing in Jesus and his
teachings.
The deceased leaves a mother and five sisters, with a multitude of friends
to mourn his early demise.  Our heart felt sympathy goes out to the
bereaved mother and relatives in their hour of sorrow.  - Democrat, Erick.
