ELLEDGE'S BODY SENT TO TEXAS

The body of Ralph B. Elledge, the 18-year-old
youth who was drowned in Belle Isle lake Thursday
night, when a boat in which he and a companion
were riding overturned, will be shipped to the
lad's former home, Beeville, TEXAS, Saturday
at noon. Prior to that a short funeral service
will be held in the Street & Draper chapel, with
the Rev. Robert E. Goodrich, pastor of St Luke's
Methodist church, officiating. Young Elledge was
a member of that church.

A sister of the dead youth will arrive in Oklahoma
City early Saturday morning to claim the body, and
later will accompany it to Beevile. It has been
learned that Elledge's father and mother who live
in Beeville, are very prominent people.
