Obituaries Elizabeth B. Harp
Eilzabeth B. Harp, 105, former Newkirk resident, died May 30, 1999. Services 
were held at 2:00 pm Tuesday, June 1, 1999 at the Newkirk Cemetery.
The daughter of the late John and Maria Grell, Braman, was born in Garner, Iowa, 
March 22, 1894. The family moved to Oklahoma when Elizabeth was about 6 years 
old. She had 5 brothers and 2 sisters. On December 24, 1915 she married Herman 
Harp at Newkirk, and they had one daughter, Audine. Mr. Harp died March 15, 1956 
and in 1972 Mrs. Harp went to live with her daughter to help care for her son in 
law who had MS. He died in 1984 and Audine died in 1998.
Mrs. Harp was an avid Atlanta Braves fan and did not miss a ball game on 
television. She was well known for her cooking skills and fierce competition 
when it came to playing cards with her family. Her death on Memorial Day weekend 
was significant because it was one of her favorite times, getting together with 
family and friends. Corresponding with cards and letters was important to her 
and it paid off because even at 105 she would receive over 80 birthday cards.
Mrs. Harp also had three grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and 3 great, great 
grandchildren. Other local relatives include nephews, Ivan Grell and Orvan 
Grell, Braman, and nieces, Elaine Fulton and Ann Spore, Newkirk.
