WATKINS, JOSEPH HENRY
(28 Nov 1907, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Died.  Mr. Joseph H. Watkins, aged 56 years, died at his home in West
Erick, last Monday morning, Nov. 25, at 10 o'clock, and was buried in the
Erick cemetery on Tuesday.  Services were conducted by Rev. J. F. Elder. 
The affliction of the deceased 's relatives and friends is made all the
more sad by reason of the fact that Mr. L. H. Watkins, a brother of
Joseph, and who was taken to Colorado Springs, Texas, about three weeks
ago, for the benefit of his health, died on Nov. 13 - only 12 days
previous to the death of Joseph H.
Joseph H. leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his demise and these
have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their affliction.
