DUGGER, NERI W.
(Oct 1915, Sayre Newspaper, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
The funeral of the late Neri W. Dugger was held from the Methodist church
last Sunday afternoon, Rev. C. A. Bridges, formerly pastor of the
Christian church at Sayre, and a personal friend of the deceased,
delivering a sermon which included a well deserved tribute to the memory
of his departed friend.
The funeral services at the cemetery were conducted by Sayre lodge No. 253
I.O.O.F., of which Mr. Dugger was a member.  Members of the lodge attended
the funeral in a body, thus attesting their respect and love for their
departed brother and their sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved relatives
who have lost a kind and loving husband, a dutiful and affectionate son
and brother.
Neri Dugger was born August 21, 1890, and died Friday, October 15, 1915,
at 8:30 p.m.  The disease from which he suffered and which ended in death
despite the efforts of physicians and friends, was of short duration,
lasting only from the preceding Saturday - less than a week.  He was a
member of the Methodist church and was known to his large circle of
friends as a conscientious and consistent Christian whose life was above
reproach.  His last moments here on earth were devoted to speaking words
of consolation to the sorrowing friends who realized that his life was
silently and swiftly passing away, and his admonitions to his wife, his
parents, his brothers and sisters, who surrounded his deathbed, will
doubtless remain on their memory's tablet through life and prove a source
of inspiration that will guide and lead them in the pathway of the higher
and nobler life.  His was a most beautiful exemplification of a life well
spent on earth passing into that eternal life where pain and suffering
heart aches and anguish are unknown.
