OBITUARY OF M. V. BEZANSON.

Mahlon V. BEZANSON, aged sixty-nine years, entered into rest Saturday
afternoon, April 3rd, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. D. RUSH.

Mr. BEZANSON was a native of Halifax, Nova Scotia and resided in
Virginia until manhood, then moved to North Carolina and after a few
years moved with his family to Conneticut and resided there for
sixteen years, then came to Oklahoma and made his home in Kingfisher
where he has lived since except about nine months in 1914, which he
spent in California.

While living in Henderson, N.C., he was associated in business with
his brother-in-law, Mr. B. A. WILSON, now of Pendleton, S.C.

He had been in poor health all winter and was taken down with
pneumonia on Saturday preceding his death, being confined to his bed
one week.

The deceased is survived by two children, Miss Emma V. BEZANSON of
North Haven, Conn., who was unable to be present and Harry B. BEZANSON
of New Haven, Conn., who arrived in Kingfisher Sunday morning in
response to a message from friends that his father was critically ill.

Mr. BEZANSON also leaves two brothers, Joseph BEZANSON, who resides in
Oregon and Dr. Chas. BEZANSON and several nieces and nephews.

Mr. BEZANSON was a man who was loved and respected by all who knew him
and numbered his friends by his acquaintances. He was a sincere
Christian quiet and unassuming. He was a member of the Presbyterian
church and a member of the Brotherhood.

Funeral services were held at two thirty o'clock this afternoon from
the undertaking parlors of E. R. HORTON officiating. Interment was
made in Kingfisher cemetery.
