DEATHS

Nickers

On October 19, 1903 the little nine-years old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse 
Nickers died of dyphtheria.  Funeral services were held at the Cottonwood 
Grove Church after which the remains were laid to rest in the Cottonwood 
cemetery by the side of friends who had gone before.

We loved him, yes we loved him
But our Savior loved him more;
In his mercy he has called him,
To yonder Shining Shore.

The family ties are broken;
Our hearts are filled with grief;
Yet we think with consolation,
Death to him was sweet relief.

The Golden Gates were opened,
A gentle voice said, Come."
The last farewells were spoken,
And he calmly entered home.

A Friend

[Note:  Cottonwood cemetery is now Verden Cemetery, Grady CO, OK]
