TACKITT, INFANT
(4 Feb 1909, Thursday, Beckham County Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Tacketts (sic), who live 7 miles
southeast of Erick, died the night of the 31 of January and was buried at
the Erick cemetery, February 1.  The writer conducted the funeral services
in the presence of a goodly number of friends and neighbors of Mr. and
Mrs. Tackett.
Dear friends, I know how impossible it is to silence your grief with
words.  The heart pleads for utterance in tears, and let it speak thus, We
bow in sorrow at the taking of your little one feeling that while the
ripened fruit may be gathered, it seems cruel that the bud should be taken
before it has an opportunity to unfold its blossoms.  But in nature fruits
fall and so do blossoms and buds.  In the ways of kind nature this is
perhaps best, and in the taking from your arms of this little one we will
try to accept the cross and in believing that the bud will yet blossom and
bear fruit in the angel land, whither the spirit of this pure child has so
early flown.  May the spirit of our Heavenly Father sustain you in this
day of heart sorrow.  -
W. M. Taylor. P.C.
(Erick Cemetery, Erick, Beckham Co, Okla.
Tackitt, Infant; born 15 Nov 1908; died 1 Feb 1909; daughter of Frank &
Gertrude Tackitt.)
