YORK, JESSE
(23 Dec 1920, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Obituary
Jesse York, little son of B. E. York, born in Stockton, California, on
February 11, 1920, died at his home on Second street in Sayre December
19th, 1920, aged 10 months and 8 days.  He was buried Sunday at 3 p.m. at
the Doxey-Sayre cemetery, Rev. Z. E. Twitty conducting the funeral
services.  He leaves a father and two brothers.
Little Jesse was the nephew of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Sides, who has cared for
him since the death of his mother until a few weeks ago.  It was to them
almost 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
funerals were scheduled for the same hour, one conducted by the
protestants, the other by Catholics.  The protestants arriving a few
minutes first held their service and while little Jesse York was being
buried the Catholics conducted the funeral of Baby Schlecht.  The incident
only shows the onward march of death.
