HEARD, THELMA MAYE
(29 Sep 1927, Beckham County Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Thelma Maye Cornelison Heard was born at Erick, Oklahoma, December
13th, 1907.  She was converted and joined the Baptist Church in 1923,
where she has been a member since her conversion.
Mrs. Heard has been in ill health for several years, and with her mother
sought recovery in the arid climate of Arizona.  Having partially
recovered she returned to Erick where she was united in marriage to a life
long friend, Mr. Marvin Heard, December 26th, 1926.  About five months
after her marriage she was accompanied again by her mother and husband to
Phoenix, Arizona, in search for her health.  But on September 11th, 1927
the Angel of Death visited her at Phoenix, and carried her soul again to
God who gave it.  Her earthly remains were laid to rest in the Erick
Cemetery Thursday, September 15, 1927.  The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. A. R. Hutchinson, pastor of the Erick Methodist Church. 
His text was among the last words of Jesus: "Ye believe in God, believe
also in me" - John 14:1.
She was a faithful and cheerful wife and daughter.  Her hope was always
bright and cheerful.  She had no fear of death, but was anxious ready and
willing to meet her Christ in that home not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens.
She leaves a husband, father and mother, one brother and two sisters in
her immediate family and a host of other relatives and friends.  May the
God of Hope, Peace and Love comfort the sad hearts of those who mourn the
going of this choice Spirit of God.
