Louise was the second child of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. McKinney, having a son just older and a tiny baby, who reside on a farm 5 1/2 miles North of Erick. Mrs. McKinney is a niece of Mr. J. D. Shelton who now lives at Odell, Tex., but still has two farms north of here. Little Louise had just reached a sweet age, 2 yrs., 1 mo., and 7 days, when she had begun talking plain and saying cute things. The remains were laid to rest in the Erick Cemetery at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Graham preached the services and said a number of impressive words to help these parents in their hours of sorrow. We offer our sincere sympathy to the bereaved. --------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/beckham/beckham.html
