OLD CITIZEN GONE

C. Lorry, commonly known as “Grandpa,” died Sunday morning at the home of his son, P. A. Lorry, three miles southeast of town. The body was interred at the Mount Hope cemetery five miles south of Arkansas City, Monday afternoon. Mr. Lorry was 83 years of age at the time of his demise and leaves a very sick wife who was eighty years of age the day of his burial.
Mr. Lorry was born in France and moved to this country in 1856 and came to Oklahoma at the opening of the strip. He was an energetic worker and always remained at home, Of the nearly nine years of residence near Tonkawa, he has never been in town although he was well known by nearly everybody in the county. His relatives have the sympathy of the entire community.-Tonkawa Journal
