JAMES K. PRATHER
Mt. View, Oklahoma Territory, S. W. Progress, Washita Co.  
April 5th, 1901
   James Prather a well known farmer who lives three miles east,
died on last Wednesday.  He leaves a wife and eight children to
keep green his memory.  He was sick only a short time and while
his death was not unexpected by those close to him the news was
a shock to the community and grieved every hear within its
limits, who have a hear full of sympathy for all the bereaved
ones and trust that they may find comfort in the sweet promises
contained in  God's holy book.

                    Obituary   
Prather.--- James K. Prather was born in McNairy county Tenn.
and he moved to Texas in 1894, then from there he came to
Oklahoma, Washita County in the year 1899.  He became a
Christian in early life and has lived a devoted Christian ever
since, he was loved and is mourned by all who knew him.  Bro.
Prather was a man of superior qualities, of soul, ever faithful
to  his family and church.  He leaves a wife and eight children
and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his death.  The
whole community is shocked over his death.  He died in April
1901, and we can only recommend the bereaved ones to Him who
said, "I will be a husband to the widow and a father to the
fatherless". Death could not have claimed a victim who would
have been more universally missed, than this dear good brother
who died as he had lived, full of faith in Christ.

His Pastor, Rev. G. E. Green
