MC DOUGAL, JOHN D.
(29 Nov 1928, Thursday, Erick Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
DIED.  J. D. McDougal of Delhi died at his home Friday and was buried
Saturday.  The funeral service was held at the Baptist church and a large
crowd was present.
He had lived on the W. O. Hood farm for twenty years.  He was eighty-five
years old.  He leaves a number of children to mourn his departure; his
wife having preceded him to the great beyond.
(29 Nov 1928, Sayre Newspaper, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Sadness has again crept into two homes with death which removed from our
midst two old and honored gentlemen.  Grandpa McDougal, familiarly known
as Uncle Mc, was laid to rest in the Delhi cemetery Saturday evening at
three o'clock.  Rev. Smith, one time pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Delhi of which Uncle McDougal was a member, conducted the services.
The Masons had charge of the grave procedures.  The other funeral was
conducted from the pulpit of the Methodist church for Uncle Willie Torry,
at four o'clock Saturday evening.  We failed to learn the name of the
officiating minister.
Uncle McDougal told the writer a few days ago that he would soon be done
suffering, that he was going home to live in Heaven, where all his toil
and pain would cease.  Going to that beautiful home where Jesus has
prepared for him, and that he had lived a life that would welcome him
home.
