Obituary: R.B.Deving

Handwritten on top of page- The Valliant Tribune - 3 -12-1920 Pg.3

Death of R. B. Deving   

Mr R.B. Deving , a good man and a good citizen , died at his home 
north of Valliant last Sunday after an illness of several weeks with 
the flu. His remains were laid to rest in the Moran cemetery Sunday 
afternoon.   

Thus passes a man that the community could ill afford to lose. When 
the dreaded disease attacked him he was teaching the Poe School and 
was considered one of the best teachers in the county. Mr. Devine was 
a Missionary Baptist preacher but gave up the ministry several years 
ago and at the time of his death was a devout christian and a leader 
in his community . Mr . Devine moved to Arkansas from Alabama several 
years ago where he lived until he moved with his family to this 
country. He was loved and respected by everyone that knew him  and 
the Tribune deeply sympathizes with the bereaved ones over the loss 
of their beloved husband and father.

My Note: It is spelled Deving at the beginning but goes to the 
spelling of Devine toward the end. BG
