A sad affair happened on Elk creek April 25th, 1894, when the six year old son of Samuel A. and D. A. Elliott died from the effects of a snake bite.

He was bitten by a rattlesnake at two or three o'clock in the evening and died at eight o'clock the next morning, casting a gloom over the neighborhood and bringing forth many expressions of condolences to the bereaved parents.

Kerosene oil was applied profusely to the wound which prevented the adherence of a madstone which was subsequently procured.

Burial in Ural Cemetery, Beckham county.
