YOUNG MAN DIES

Mark Lee, aged about 31 years, died Friday morning at the General Hospital in Enid following an illness of many weeks, starting with influenza which ran into pneumonia and caused his death. He had recovered from the actual pneumonia but had serum in his lung which had to be drained off, and he was taken to the hospital to be treated for removal of this serum. The case was so far advanced that he was unable to survive.

Mr. Lee had grown up from infancy in the community south of Drummond and was known as a young man of sterling worth and character and his passing just at the period of greatest promise in life was a sad shock to all.

The wife, two little girls, one three years old and the other eleven months; father and mother, twelve brothers and sisters, besides other relatives are left to mourn his untimely death.

Funeral services were held at the home and at Wesleyan Methodist Chapel Sunday followed by interment at Del Norte cemetery.
