STOKES, ANDREW CHARLES
(6 Aug 1920, Friday, Texola Herald, Texola, Beckham Co, OK):
Little Andrew Charles, eight months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Claud Stokes
of four miles northwest of town, was drowned in a tub of water early
Sunday morning.
A tub almost full of water had been left in one of the bedrooms and while
the mother was cooking breakfast and Mr. Stokes was at the barn feeding
the stock, the little one, who was just learning to walk, made his way to
the tub, fell into the water and was drowned.  He was found within a few
minutes but all efforts to revive him were without success.
The funeral was held in the Nazarene church at 10:30 o'clock Monday
morning, S. R. Jones officiating.  Interment in Hillcrest cemetery
immediately afterward.  - The McLean (Texas) News.
