THORPE, LIZZIE
(3 Jul 1902, Thursday, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Miss Lizzie Thorpe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Thorpe, died at their
home in this city Thursday morning about 1 o'clock.  She had been sick for
several weeks with typhoid-pneumonia, and for several days it had been
apparent that she was beyond the reach of earthly aid.  She was a bright,
girl of fifteen, loved and admired by all who knew her.  Another beautiful
flower has been cut down by the grim reaper, and the sunshine is dimmed in
another home.  We join with her many friends in extending our earnest
sympathy to the bereaved family.
(10 Jul 1902, Thursday, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
DIED. - At the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Thorpe, Thursday
morning July 3, 1902, Miss Lizzie Thorpe, age 14 years, 11 months and 20
days.  She had been sick about 3 weeks with typhoid pneumonia and all was
done that kind and loving hands could do to relieve her suffering but of
no avail.  The funeral services held at the residence Thursday evening at
4 o'clock were conducted by Rev. Johnson and the remains were taken to the
cemetery east of Sayre, where she was laid to rest.  She leaves a father,
mother and sister and a host of friends to mourn her loss.
