  The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
C. H. Nesser in and around Elk City
were grieved to learn of Little Ray-
mond's death which came at 12:20 p. 
m. last Wednesday, altho they were in
a measure prepared for the sad tid-
ings because of his long illness, which
all knew had been very critical, he
was very bad right from the time he
took sick and all that the devoted
family, Dr.s and friends could do was
done hoping to the end that the little 
fellow might have strength to over-
come the dreadful disease but the in-
tense heat and his weakened condi-
tion seemed more than he could bear.
Raymond was such a sweet lovable
child and was always ready to give a
little recitation for all the program
in the community.  How well we all
remember the last time he recited at
the Easter Program at Grandview in-
titled "How Can Mother Tell".  Las 
year was his first year in school and
how his little school mates will miss
him.
  Raymond Fredrick Nesser was
born near Elk City, Nov. 14th, 1918
and died after an illness of 48 days
of typhoid fever.  At the age of six
years, eight months and nine days.
He leaves his mother, father, and two
brothers, Earnest and Carl, besides a
number of relatives and a host of
neighbors and friends to help share
their sorrows.  The funeral was held
at the home at 2:30 Thursday after-
noon, Rev. Carmon officiating, the 
little body was then laid to rest in
Fairlawn cemetery.
