R. S. Young received a telegram from Mrs. E. Shannon at Los Angeles, California, Tuesday morning, November 9, conveying the information that Mr. Shannon died in that city the previous day, the 8th, and that interment would be made there. The telegram did not state cause of death, but it was probably due to a complicated trouble which attacked him more than a year ago. Deceased settled on a homestead one mile west and one mile north of this city before the town was founded and at the time of his death owned considerable valuable city property. He was an active member of the local lodge, I.O.O.F. and respected in Sayre and surrounding community. --------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/beckham/beckham.html
