Dr. Wesley I. Wimberly of Hammon, died at his home in that city last Friday
after a brief illness of influenza.
The news of his death was a
shock to the people of this city, because of the surprise and the
deep feeling of sorrow that came with news of his untimely demise.
Dr. Wimberly has many warm friends and acquaintances here who
intensely grieved because of his death.
He was an ardent supporter of the government during the war, always
taking an active part in all patriotic activities.
He served as
campaign director in Kiowa township for all Red Cross drives, and
always was among the first to report "over the top".
He also served
as food administrator for the county.
Early in the war he was
denied the privilege of entering the service on account of his eyes.
Dr. Wimberly was a zealous Christian worker and a member of the
Masonic lodge, which fraternity took charge of the ceremonies at Elk
City Saturday. Members of the order from this place were in
attendance and participated.
Burial took place in Fairlawn Cemetery, Elk City.
The Star extends condolences to the bereaved.
