PARVIN, W. A.
(4 Jul 1907, Thursday, Beckham County Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
W. A. Parvin, an old ex-confederate soldier, died Saturday night at 10
o'clock and was buried at Texola Sunday.  He was a member of the Alamo
camp U.C.V. at Erick and a member of the Free Methodist church.  He was
taken suddenly ill while attending church Saturday night and died at the
home of a party near the church.
The old veterans of both armies of the civil war are fast passing away and
in a few years more will be but a memory and dream of the past.  The war
between the states is but a dream to us who spent the best years of our
manhood to destroy each other of the same blood, and it is pleasant to
think that it was but a dream.
