Beckham Co., OK
 
One of Beckham county's old-
est citizens, James Andrew Gar-
rett, died at Elk City last Friday
after suffering three weeks
from results of blood poisoning
originating from a small scratch
on he ankle.  he was taken to
the hospital with the hopes of 
saving his life by the amputation
of the effected limb.
  Mr. Garrett came to this coun-
ty some twenty-five years ago
with his family, locating on the
farm five miles east of this city.
He was a prosperous farmer and 
was generally known throughout
this section and has retained his
friendship through honesty and 
square dealings, and the partak-
ing of all the worth while things
of life.
  The funeral and interment
were at the Carter cemetery last
Saturday afternoon, the remains
being in charge of the Littrell-
Johnson undertaking department
of this city.
  Besides his wife, he is survived
by two daughters and four sons,
who here present at the time of 
his death.  The county joins with
the family in sympathy in the
loss of their father and husband.
