O. P. West Dead

Mr. O. P. West died at his home in Tonkawa last Sunday night. The funeral was conducted Monday at 11 o’clock a.m. by Rev. James Eldridge of the Baptist church of which Mr. West had lived a consistent member. The deceased was 68 years old and had many warm friends in this community. He has suffered greatly in the past few months with rheumatism, which together with his old age was the cause of his death. The orphaned children have the sympathy of all who know them.
