Enid, Oh la,
The program arranged for the
memorial exercises in honor of the
87th anniversary of Odd Fellowship
in America, was carried out in full
today. The attendance of visiting
Odd Fellows was real good when the
busy season of the year is considered.
The local lodges of Lahoma, Drum-
mond, Ames, Okeene, Waukomis,
Hennessey, Kremlin and Hillsdale
were well represented and the various
Rebekah lodgts throughout the dis-
trict were all represented.
The street parade was a pleasing
fee ture of the occasion; 300 men and
05 women, members of the Order,
were in line. Headed by the band
the procession marched around
square and east on Broadway to the
Opera House. The Hon?e was com-
fortably crowded. The pleasing pro-
gram was fully carried out and more
too, as follaws:

Mr. Josiah Alexander Rimsouer, of
North Enid, expired suddenly at about
7 p. m. Thursday, April 26th, 1906 at
his home. The cause of death was
acute apoplexy, or more clearly ex-
plained, the bursting of a blood vessel
In the head.
The deceased had apparently been
in the best ot t eal'.h and spirits all
day and had gone lometo supper in
company with his son in-law, E. L
Stratton of Chicago, w ho had stopped
off a day for a visit as he was on his
way to Ft. Worth, Texas. Just Ke-
f re sitting down to the table Mr"
Ramsouer suddenly stopped speaking
placed < ne hand over bis heart and
fell forward before his wife, who was
only a few feet away, could reach his
side. Friends who wefe immediately
called in worked vigorously to restore
him to consciousness, while waiting
for Dr. Cotton, the fatnilv pbjslclan,
who promptly arrived and pronounced
him dead.
Mr. Ramsouer >s survlvtd by his
wife and three children, F. E. Ram-
souer, of Bessie, Okla.; Mr?. Maud E
Stratton, of Chicago, and Mrs. Daisy
E. Black, of Council Grove, Kansas.
This is the first tim death has ever
visitt d the family. The funeral ser-
vices will be held at the home Sunday
afternoon at 2 p. m. Interment at
the Enid cemetery. .
Josiah A. liamsi Ut r was born in
Harrison County O: i March 21, 1848,
hence was aged 68 yc. r-,1 month, and
4 days at time of death.
The deceased was o ie of the first
settlers of the Cherokee btrip at
North Enid wherelie has been in the
grocery and feed business ever since.
He was a good husband, father,
neighbor and citizen and very con-
servative in all things. Hu friends
are numbered by the bredth of his
acquaintance. The sympntliy ot the
community is with the suddenly be-
reaved family^
