Obituary.

Robert Melvin BRACKEN, born in Kingfisher October 17, 1899.  Age 13
years, 7 months and 15 days.  Died Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, June
22, 1913.  Son of Mr. and Mrs. John BRACKEN, lived in Kingfisher until
2 1/2 years ago then moved to Phillipsburg, Kansas, at which place he
made his profession of his faith in Christ and united with the church
at the age of twelve.  He has always been a faithful member of the
Bible school from which he has received due recognition for regular
attendance and good behavior.  Later the family returned to Kingfisher
where the deceased was taken suddenly ill and died at his home at
South 10th St. with typhoid fever.

His departure leaves a vacant chair in the home but our loss is his
gain.

He leaves a bereaved father, mother and only sister to mourn their
loss and a number of sorrowing relatives.  Funeral was held at the
residence at four o'clock Monday by the Rev. RUNYON.
