OBITUARY

Mrs. Jack L. Frazier, wife of Jack L. Frazier and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Parker,  died Tuesday June 21, 1904, at the family residence of Mr. Parker, No. 401 East Sixth street, Oklahoma City, from a complication of diseases which baffled the skill of our best physicians.

She was sick only one week, but death seemed to claim her as his own from the start.

She leaves a young and devoted husband, sweet boy baby three months old, father, mother, brothers, sisters, and many, many friends and relatives to mourn.

She was buried Wednesday evening in Fairlawn cemetery. Funeral services conducted by Re. J. L. Riley and Dr. F. E. Day of the M. E. Church, which church she was a consistent member, and expressed herself before death as willing and ready to die and for her friends and relatives to grieve not for her as she knew she would be happy.

Fleta Mae Parker as she was best known, was born June 9, 1882, and married December 2, 1902.

It seems sad sometimes for relatives and friends to part with one dear to them just entering into manhood or womanhood with bright prospects, but when we think of the many trials and tribulations to contend with in life, and the many wrecked homes, that it is some consolation to the bereaved to know that the dear ones have passed to a better world, and how many of us have wished as old age creeps on, and we look back over our troubles and sorrows that we had passed away while young.

The writer of this article has known the Parker family since the early settlement of Oklahoma; our families have grown up together, and there has been a bond of friendship existing between the old settlers who were thrown together here from all parts of the country, that is lasting and not forgotten. Mr. Parker settled here in the early days and has helped to build up our city as a brick contractor and no one had more lasting friends to mourn after her than Mrs. Jack L. Frazier.

But what is our loss is her gain.
  Dearest daughter thou hast left us,
    Our sweet sister has passed away,
  Wife and mother has gone before us,
    Waiting for the judgment day.

  The family circle is now broken,
    Since thy days of early childhood,
  Will yearly strew thy grave with flowers
    Gathered from the plains and wildwood.

 A FRIEND
