The funeral will be held Monday at 2 from the Oakman Church, with burial in Oakman Cemetery.

He served as deputy sheriff under Fred Bowles in the early thirties, returned to farming, then about 10 years ago became a guard at the penitentiary at McAlester. He continued there until three years ago when a heart condition forced him to retire.
Surviving are a daughter, Miss Pernie Lillard, Oklahoma City; sister, Mrs Ella Hart, Ada; brothers, J. M. of Ada, W. R. of Lawton and J. W. Lillard of Martha.
