WOODS, PLES HUSTON, Jr.
(28 Nov 1929, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
A common ordinary navy bean is responsible for the death of Ples Huston
Woods, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Woods in the local hospital Sunday
morning at 12:50.
Young Woods was 2 years, 1 month and 7 days old at the time of his death
and the only child of the parents.  The child had been playing on the
floor and got hold of a bean and like all young children put it in his
mouth.  The bean lodged in his throat and could not be removed.  He lived
12 hours after the accident.
Three doctors were called in the case but nothing could be done to save
his life.
Funeral services were held from the First Baptist church in Sayre Monday
afternoon at 1:30 o'clock with Rev. J. H. Burns officiating.  Burial was
made in the Sayre-Doxey cemetery.  Hullum Funeral directors were in
charge.
