Obituary
Lucile McKeown Emerick
Lucile McKeown Emerick was born August 12, 1903, on the farm five miles west of Billings, Okla. She with her parents moved to Billings when Lucile was four years old and continued to reside here until her marriage three years ago.
She died at Enid, Okla., Friday, December 3, 1926, and was 23 years, 3 months and 21 days old.
She had been a member of the Christian church since nine years old, and a member of the Rebekah Lodge of Billings for the past four years.
Lucile graduated from the Billings High School in 1921, and attended Phillips University at Enid for one year, after which she taught school three miles west of Billings for one term and was teaching at the time of her marriage.
On the 3rd day of March, 1923, Lucile was united in marriage to Dawson Emrick and to this union one child, a daughter – now twenty months old – was born.
On Friday morning, December 3rd, she underwent an operation for the removal of a goiter at the Enid Springs Hospital, from which she did not regain consciousness and died at 3:30 that evening.
In addition to her husband and baby daughter, she is survived by her father and step-mother, Mr. and Mrs. Frank McKeown of Billings; her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Amon Branson of Enid; one aunt, Mrs. Earl King of Enid; and five uncles, P.H. and J.F. McKeown of Billings; Thos. McKeown of Omaha, Nebr.; Barney McKeown of Sylvia, Kansas, and Geo. Branson, living in California. All of whom were present at the funeral services except George Branson and Thos. McKeown.
Lucile’s mother passed away six years ago last April.
Her remains were brought to the home of her father Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. funeral services were held at the Christian church in Billings, conducted by Rev. G.A. Strouse, assisted by Rev. Taylor, following which the remains were laid to rest beside the departed mother in the Union cemetery, attended by one of the largest concourse of relatives, friends and acquaintances this section has seen, in honor of the memory of her, who was one of Billings finest young ladies, and her demise is a terrible blow to the young husband, father and other relatives as well as her friends, who were innumerable.
