DEATH OF FRANK CUNNEEN.

   Last Monday morning at 8 o'clock the death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Cunneen and claimed for his own their 4-year-old son, Francis Leo. He had been ill about ten days with tonsilitis, and though every thing that medical skill and loving care could suggest was done, it was all of no avail.
   The funeral services were held at the Caholic church on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Father Lamb of Lawton officiating. The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery northeast of town.

We saw not the angels who met him there;
   The gates of the city we could not see.
Over the river, over the river,
   My darling stood waiting to welcome me.

This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
   Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
   In Paradise would bloom.

There, in the Shepherd's bosom,
   White as the drifted snow,
Is the little lamb we missed one morn
   From the household flock below.

   The bereaved parents and brothers and sisters have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
