The
following extract taken from a paper published at Kiefer, Oklahoma, concerning
the death of Miss Lucy Cloud who with her parents lived for many years near
Durham and who has attended the Cheyenne School within the past few years will
be quite a shock to many of our readers.
On last Thursday, after a very brief illness, there passed from our number, one
of our fine young members, in the person of Miss Lucile Cloud.
Only last Friday evening she had gone with the young folks of the Epworth league
out to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Heck for the regular monthly social meeting,
seemingly in good health, excepting a cold. On Saturday she became ill, on
Sunday she grew worse, and on Thursday, October 30, 1919 at 12:10 p.m. she went
home to be with God.
All that love and skill could do was of no avail, for that dreaded malady,
cerebral spinal meningitis mocked the skill of the physician and the loving
hands of friends and released the pure soul from its tenement of clay, that it
might go to its “house not made with hands eternal in the heavens, whose builder
and maker is God.”
She was the second child of Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Cloud and was born at Hennessey,
Oklahoma, March 6, 1901. From there the family removed to Durham, and remained
there till the spring of 1918, when they came to the eastern part of the state
and finally came to Kiefer in the fall of 1918.
She was converted in the summer of 1913 and united with the Methodist Church,
South of Durham. She was received by us by transfer, on Sunday, October 12,
1919, together with her sister, Audrey.
She was a member of the sophomore class of our High School and was eulogized by
teachers and classmates.
The Epworth League will greatly miss her presence, as she was a regular and
active member, ready for any duty. Equally regular as a member of Mrs. Heck's
Sunday School Class, they too, will miss her.
Because of the danger, only a brief service could be held, and at the Twin
Mounds Cemetery, where her body was laid to rest by loving hands in the presence
of the family, an uncle and cousin, members of her class and Professor Mote and
other friends at 3 p.m., on Friday, October 31, 1919.
