(24 Jun 1915, Thursday, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK): The funeral of the late Louis E. Danner, who died suddenly at Norman, Oklahoma, on Saturday, June 19th, was held from the Methodist church at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. W. L. Anderson before a large congregation of friends of the deceased, and the services at the cemetery were conducted by the Modern Woodmen of America of which order the deceased was a member. Louis E. Danner was born in 1869 in Macon county, Missouri, being 46 years of age at the time of his death. In 1901 he moved from Missouri to Oklahoma, and with his wife and family settled at Sayre. For several years he has been engaged in cement work.... (missing). A short time before he was taken ill he was building a cement cistern on Railroad Hill when he fell from the ladder and received injuries which at the time were not thought to be serious, but which are now believed to have been the beginning of his illness. Only two or three days before his death he went to Norman for special treatment and it was confidently believed that he would soon recover. A dispatch from the doctor at Norman on Saturday conveyed the sad news to his brother, J. M. Danner, of Sayre, that death came within a short time after his arrival. The news was a shock, not only to his family and near relatives, but also to his many friends here who did not realize that he was seriously ill. The deceased leaves a wife and eight children, seven girls and one boy, an aged father, three brothers and many personal friends to mourn his loss. The body was laid at rest in the Doxy-Sayre cemetery. (Other notes): Mrs. D. Zimmerman, of Macon, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Danner, of Elk City, and Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Danner of Clinton, were here Tuesday to attend the funeral of the late Louis E. Danner. --------------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/beckham/beckham.htm
