WADLOW, JOHN W.
(7 Feb 1907, Greer County Republican, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Sudden Death
The people of Erick were shocked last Saturday morning to learn of the
sudden death of our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr. John Wadlow, who died
early Saturday morning after an illness of less than one week.  In fact he
was up and dressed the evening before he died.
Mr. Wadlow was known and invariably esteemed highly by everyone in this
vicinity.  He was emphatically a good man, and his death is sincerely
mourned by a large circle of friends.  He is survived by his widow, three
minor children, a brother and numerous others less closely related in this
vicinity.
Rev. Liddell conducted the funeral services at the family home at Erick
Sunday afternoon, and the Modern Woodman lodge, of which the deceased was
an honored member, conducted their ceremonies at the grave, all of which
were most impressive.
Mrs. Wadlow and her children have the heartfelt sympathy of her neighbors,
all of whom are her sincere friends.
The announcement of Mr. Wadlow's sudden death, when he was apparently in
the bloom of sturdy, healthful manhood compels reflection upon the
uncertainty of life and should tend to influence mankind to prepare for
the end of life.
