OTIS SUMMERS Is Dead

OTIS SUMMERS, aged 56 years, died at his home in Waurika about 2 o'clock 
Wednesday morning after a lingering illness of Bright's Disease. He had 
been seriously ill for several days, therefore the end was not unexpected. 
Funeral expenses were conducted from the home Wednesday afternoon by the 
Baptist minister of Hastings and the remains were laid to rest in the 
Waurika cemetery at 5 o'clock under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of 
which he had been a faithful member for many years. Mr. Summers came from 
Marsden, Oklahoma to Waurika about five years ago and engaged in the 
bottling business. He built up a splendid trade and during his business 
career, made staunch friends who sympathize with the family in their loss. 
He was a town booster of the true blue stripe and could always be depended 
upon to his share toward any enterprise that was for the general good of 
the town. Deceased was born at Gainesville, Mississippi November 12, 1859. 
Later he moved to Texas with his parents, and at Lampasas, Texas, he was 
united in marriage to MISS PAIRLEE HENDERSON, September 17, 1885. To this 
union, eight children were born, seven of whom together with his wife, 
still survive. CARL, TOBIAS, EARL, HENRY, and DORAS reside in Waurika, 
while the two elder sons, OSA and DAVE, reside in other cities. The death 
of Mr. Summers is deeply regretted by his fellow townsmen…
