Artt died at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. Edd Artt in Calumet [Canadian Co] Sunday afternoon, after an illness of several weeks, aged about 25 years. He leaves a loving wife and two small children, a devoted father and mother, one sister and two brothers and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He was born at Cimaron, Kansas, on Sept. 12, 1887, and, with his parents came to Oklahoma in 1901 where he has since resided, most of the time in Calumet. He was married to Susie Clevenger in Feb. 1905, to this union three children were born, one having preceded him to the land of the unsetting sun. About three years ago, he with his family moved to Britton, Oklahoma, where he had lived until about two weeks ago, when having a spell of sickness he came out to spend, what proved to be his last days on earth, with those he knew and loved best. The always helpful and unselfish disposition of the deceased will be a bright spot in the memory of his friends forever. He was never too tired or otherwise indisposed to give pleasure to his fellow men. Being a great lover of things beautiful in nature, he was a talented musician and gave his services as such unselfishly always helping on all occasions when he could advance the happiness of others. He was a member of the Philharmonic Music club of Oklahoma City, and played the Mellphone in the Christian church choir at that place. He was also a member of the band at Britton, his home. Indeed the world is better and brighter for his having lived here, even for this short time and God knows best always so called him home to be a member of the heavenly choir which is the great joy of all who lead a Christian life. The floral offerings were most beautiful. The burial services was in charge of the I.O.O.F. lodge of which he was an honored member. Rev. G. Lyle Smith of El Reno and Rev. J. H. Johnson of Calumet conducted the funeral services, at the Methodist church. The remains, followed [by] a large concourse of people, were taken to the Red Rock cemetery where the Interment took place. --------------------------------------------------------------------
