Lyman W. DeGeer Dead.

Lyman W. DeGeer died at his home at Alva, Oklahoma, on Sunday, March 9, 1902, after suffering about two weeks from a stroke of paralysis.

Mr. DeGeer was a citizen of Barber county for a number of years prior to the opening of the Strip when he cast his fortunes in the new country. He was twice elected to the office of county attorney of this county but resigned to go to Oklahoma before his last term expired. In Oklahoma he had an extensive practice and was recognized as one of the leading members of the bar of the Territory.

J. W. DeGeer, of Deerhead, is his brother.

The people of Barber join with their brethren in Woods county in mourning the death of their neighbor and citizen.

Obituary: J.W. DeGeer, brother of Lyman DeGeer.
