(Odessa Record: 1-19-1906)
Ruby Nola Colyar, the three year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. W. R. Colyar, died at the home of her parents on Third Street at 2 o'clock Friday morning. The little one had endured more in the nature of illness in the last month of her life than falls to most people in the course of a life time. About the middle of December she was attacked with a mild form of scarlet fever and before she was fully recovered she was stricken with diptheria. She was recovering from this when she was taken ill with pneumonia. Her baby strength was nearly exhausted in fighting the first attacks and was unequal to this. She was a beautiful little child; bright and affectionate, and her parents have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. As the family were not out of quarantine the only thing in the way of funeral services was a short burial service at the grave. Interment was in the Colyar cemetery near Gresham church at 2 pm Saturday. (Sprague Times)
