© Chickasha Star Chickasha, Oklahoma Friday, September 1, 1916 May 14, 1901 ~ August 25, 1916 Nearly everyone in the country attended the funeral of Miss Bettie Graham at the Verden M. E. Church Saturday. The obituary will probably appear in another part of the Star. Mr and Mrs Graham surely have the heart felt sympathy of the entire community in their hour of trouble and berevement. The other daughter, Miss Mary, is still very low in the morning [Tuesday]. George is getting along as well as could be expected. We hope each will soon be inproved. © Chickasha Star Chickasha, Oklahoma Friday, September 8, 1916 May 14, 1901 ~ August 25, 1916 Betty Bell, the sweet fifteen year old daughter of Mr and Mrs John Graham died of Typhoid fever at the home of her parents, August 25th, 1916.

© The Verden News Verden, Oklahoma Friday, September 1, 1916 May 14, 1901 ~ August 25, 1916 It was a very, very, sad concourse of friends and relatives that filled the Methodist Church of Verden, Ok, last Saturday afternoon, to attend the funeral service of dear little Bettie Graham. The beautiful little white casket was carried by six of Bettie's friends and schoolmates; Lena Hurst, Alice Linn, Myrtle Taylor, Effie Brock, Pearl Hick and Pearl McPhail. The service was opened with prayer by Reverend Waldrep of Verden and the Dutton quartette sang "Asleep in Jesus", and "Shall the Circle be Unbroken". Mrs. Sadie Brock spoke of Bettie as a Sunday school pupil and told of her willing cheerfulness in the class of which Mrs. Brock is teacher. The little girls of which Bettie was a favorite, occupied a pew near the little casket, their hearts nearly breaking with grief at the loss of their little playmate. Reverend Lutes took from his text, "The Maid is not dead but sleepeth". He spoke words of cheer and comfort to the parents, brothers, and sisters. Bettie Bell, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Graham was born near El Reno, May 14, 1901, died at the home of her parents, August 25, 1916. She was a sweet and beautiful little girl whose life had only meant pure obedient childhood and days of youthful study in school from which she graduated. In the spring of 1915 she united with the Methodist Church at Dutton. Her life, like the lillies, was sweet, fragrant, and tender; it blossomed here for a few summers when the Master Gardener came and seeing its beauty transplanted it to his garden above. Her sickness was of but a week's duration. In her family she leaves to mourn her loss, her father, mother, three brothers, and four sisters. The body was laid to rest Saturday, in the Verden cemetery where many are now taking their last long sleep. "With a cheery smile and wave of her hand, she has wondered into that unknown land, and left us dreaming, how very fair It needs must be since she lingers there. Think of her as alive I pray, She is not dead-she is just away. |
