From the Francis Herald
In Memorium (sic)

Lynette Pollock was born at Kiowa, Oklahoma, October 28, 1907; died at Francis, 
Oklahoma, Sunday, Nov. 17, 1918, aged 11 years and 19 days.  During her short 
life Lynette gladly did her bit in contributing to the happiness and comfort of 
those about her,  her sincere and practical disposition, remarkable for one her 
age, made her a favorite with both young and old.  She was a faithful and 
diligent pupil and had almost reached the seventh grade in school.  The 
quantities of flowers send by her school mates to be placed upon the casket bore 
pathetic testimony to their affection.  Lynette was a very patriotic little girl 
and took the greatest interest in the progress of the war.  She was an 
enthusiastic member of the Junior Red Cross and was corresponding with a captain 
in France.  She prized his letters as her greatest treasures.  No one was more 
delighted than she when the bells and whistles announced that the war was over.  
She kept a little American flag upon her bed during her last illness and had 
been playing with it a few minutes before she passed quickly and painlessly away 
from heart failure.  Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Hefley Wednesday, 
November 20, and the body laid to rest in the Cedar Grove cemetery.
