MONROE, LLOYD MORRIS

L. M. Monroe died at his residence on North Third street Sunday night and

death came as a surprise to his many friends.  He is survive by a wife and
several children.
(28 May 1925, Thursday, Sayre Journal, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Died, at his home in this city early Monday morning, May 25th, 1925, Lloyd
Morris Monroe, age 36 years, 11 months and 13 days.
The subject of this sketch was our friend and co-worker.  We knew him
twenty years ago, and at different times during these twenty years have
been associated in newspaper work together.  Lloyd was with us for the
first six months in Sayre on the Journal.
Rev. Stigler, pastor of the Baptist church of this city, preached the
funeral at the Methodist church at 1 o'clock P.M. Tuesday.
Interment was made in the Sayre-Doxey cemetery.  The Masonic lodge of this
city conducted the burial rites led by Past Master Jess Robinson of Delhi.
 The burial ceremony was impressive and brought the people present to the
realization that soon we shall all be passing that way.
Thus, all that was mortal of our friend was placed back into the bosom of
Mother Earth, from whence he came, but the soul was smiling from the
sunset halo that marks God's farewell to the day - smiling with all the
remembered grace of his manhood love and devotion, and saying to us:  "The
sunset speaks but feebly of the glories of Another day.  All is well."

that human kindness could suggest to help and comfort, we return most with
thanks.
