R. T. Largen, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Matilda Scoville, in this city Thursday, December 24, at 1:30 p.m., after a brief illness of pneumonia, in his 56th year.

His passing was sudden and unexpected to his many friends and his illness was not generally known and therefore a source of deep regret.

He was a pioneer settler of old Indian Territory, coming here in an early day from his native state, Texas, and had witnessed and taken part in it's development from the frontier outposts to its marvelous growth and entry into the sisterhood of states. Mr. Largen was a good man and highly respected by all who knew him.

He was a member of the local order of W. O. W. and held the office of Consul Commander of the lodge. Rev. J. Y. Bryce of the Southern Methodit church, preached the funeral, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Scoville, when the remains were taken in charge by the W. O. W. and buried with the honors of the order. Interment took place in the city cemetery at 3 p.m. Christmas day.
