Alta Graham
Purcell Register
December 1, 1910
Alta, daughter of G.C. and Susan Graham was born in
Evans, Colorado, November 17, 1876, and died in Purcell, Oklahoma,
November 27th, 1910, at 12:30 a.m. after an illness of 22 days with
typhoid fever.
All was done that loving hands could do to keep her
with us. The family kept faithful watch, and kind friends rendered
every assistance possible, but to no avail. Our loss will be heaven's
gain, for she was a Christian. Her pure spirit has gone to enjoy the
blessings of the Paradise of God. Heaven will be of greater interest to
us now, since our daughter, sister and friend is there awaiting our
arrival. Her departure will serve to draw us closer to God and to
Christ who said "I am the door."
She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal
church.The funeral services were held in the home, being conducted by
the pastor, Rev. R.E. J. Thompson on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
Nov. 27. There was a large company present. Many beautiful flowers were
presented by loving friends. The body was laid at rest in Hillside
cemetery near Purcell.
