EVANS, HOLLAND B.
(30 Oct 1930, Thursday, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Funeral services for Holland B. Evans, 34, who died suddenly at his home
in Sayre Saturday night, were held at the Methodist Church in Sayre Monday
morning October 27 at 10 o'clock with Rev. T. N. Weeks officiating.
Evans had been feeling badly for two weeks prior to his death but was
thought to have improved the day of his death.  He left the Owl Drug Store
where he was employed at 6:20 Saturday evening and went to his home.  He
is said to have been feeling well when he left the drug store.  Later he
was discovered by Mrs. Evans where he had fallen in an attempt to reach
the bed.  A physician was summoned but he was unable to do anything for
Evans.  His death was attributed to heart failure.
Two years and one-half ago Evans moved to Sayre from Henrietta.  He was an
employe (sic) of the Jones-Pore Drug store in that city for 7 years before
coming here.  He was employed at the Owl Drug Store from the time he moved
to the city until his death.  He was a registered pharmacist for 17 years.
Following the service in Sayre the family with Rev. and Mrs. T. N. Weeks
left for Henrietta where a second service was held.  The Littrell-Moore
funeral car drove with the body to Henrietta.  Burial was made in the
Okmulgee cemetery with Littrell-Moore in charge of all funeral
arrangements both here and in Okmulgee.
Beside his widow, Evans is survived by his two children, a daughter,
Panthea Mae, 12, and son, Holland B., Jr., ten and one sister, Miss Martha
A. Evans of Okmulgee.
(2 Nov 1930, Sunday, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
