WINTERS, JOHN LEE
(28 Aug 1924, Sayre Journal, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Obituary
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Winters and children motored from Springfield, Colo.,
to visit relatives and friends during their vacation.  While here their
baby, John Lee, became seriously ill and was taken to Elk City where Dr.
Colson advised immediate operation after consultation.  Dr. Tisdal
performed the operation, but with all this aid of skilled medical and
surgical men and women and careful nursing, the kindness done by loving
relatives and friends was all in vain.  John Lee was born January 17,
1924, in Springfield, Colo., and passed to that "Home not made with hands"
August 23, 1924, in Elk City, Okla.  For seven months and five days he
made a bright and shining light in so many hearts and will be always
fondly remembered.
---Mr. and Mrs. Winters joined Mr. N. Winters and daughter Ruth, in their
car for Springfield, Colo., Tuesday morning to their home.

so much.
