the family of Green Caudle, and was in the city Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, on the latter day complained of being ill.
Physicians were called and his case diagnosed as appendicitis, and his
parents notified Monday afternoon.  Tuesday he became worse, and Wednesday
an operation was decided upon as the only chance for recovery, but without
avail, and at an early hour Friday morning he passed away.
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at Spring Creek cemetery, the
services being conducted by Rev. J. L. Davis, of this city, and largely
attended by neighbors and friends of the family.
Mr. and Mrs. Batchelor are well known residents of this section of Beckham

(29 April 1921, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
DIED.  Nesbitt T. Batchlear was born April 7th, 1906 and died April 22nd,
1921.  He leaves a father and mother, sisters and brothers to mourn his
loss.  The loss that is sad to them is his gain.  Weep not loved ones God
knew best.
While in Sayre visiting friends he was stricken with appendicitis.  After
his operation and awful suffering he lived a day or so then peacefully
passed away Friday morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Batchlear, Nesbitts' parents, lived several miles southwest
of Carter.
Nesbitt lived a pure and upright life with kindness to all.  All was done
that loving hearts and willing hands could do to prolong his life but all
too soon the icy hand of death was laid upon his brow and his spirit
returned to the God who gave it.
After placing the beautiful flowers prepared by his friends we left him
with a sad farewell.  Nesbitt is gone.  Oh! how we miss him.
