SCHLECT, INFANT
(23 Dec 1920, Thursday, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Jessie York, little son of B. E. York, born in Stockton, California on
February 11th, 1920, age 10 months and 8 days, was buried Sunday at 3 P.M.
at the Sayre-Doxey cemetery.  Z. E. Twitty conducted the funeral services.
 He leaves a father and two brothers.  Little Jessie was the nephew of Mr.
and Mrs. W. F. Sides who had cared for him since the death of his mother
until a few weeks ago.  It was to them most like giving up their own
child.  The sympathy of the many friends of the bereaved ones goes out to
them.
A peculiar circumstance attended the funeral Sunday afternoon . . . Two
funeral were scheduled by protestants, the other catholics.  The
protestants arriving a few minutes ahead held their service and while
little Jessie York was being buried the Catholics conducted the funeral of
Baby Schlect.  The incident only shows the onward march of death.
