In Memoriam Died at her home in our city, just as the day was fading into darkness Sunday, little Velma, the nine months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.L. Duncan. Thus over a happy home the shadow of a little grave has fallen and as an other has said, it is wonderful how long a shadow a little grave can throw. This beautiful baby life was so precious, so frought with blessing to her parents that she seemed a flower of paradise permitted to bloom for a brief season by their side, then recalled to its nature skies, leaving the earth road for them dark and lonely indeed. And when the messenger came from the unseen lands to claim the dainty darling as his own. She only crossed her little hands, She only looked more meek and fair, We parted back her silken hair, We wove the roses round her brow White buds, the summer's drifted snow, Wrapt her from head to foot in flowers, And thus she went out this world for ours. A large concourse of friends and relatives followed the remains to the cemetery where funeral services were held, conducted by Rev. G.H. Hayes of this city. The Express extend to the bereaved parents, our heartfelt sympathy in this their hour of trial and sincerely trust it may be a source of comfort to them to know that another link is formed in the golden chain which binds to heaven. In the Cement IOOF cemetery (it is online), there are alot of Duncan's. The William M. Duncan is there and his wife Sarah. I can't seem to find an obit for William but I did Sarah. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Caddo County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/caddo/caddo.html
