BLAKEMORE

Ross BLAKEMORE who left a year ago on account of ill health for New Mexico, returned last fall and soon after his condition changed for the worse with death a result, which occurred Friday evening at 7 o'clock March 25 at his home in the vicinity of Chalk Bluff. Burial took place the following day at the Chalk Bluff Cemetery. Deceased is survived by a wife and two children, a boy and a girl, three and one years of age respectively, and a mother, Mrs. Lillie BLAKEMORE of Clovis, New Mexico. Ross was a nephew of our fellow townsman, L D. BLAKEMORE. The relatives and friends are deeply grateful for the unsparing kindness of friends during Ross' long illness.

The above obituary fits in with the story my grandmother told me that Lillie & family moved to Clovis, New Mexico from Stilwell, Adair County, Oklahoma about 1920 because Ross had injured himself and got tuberculosis. He was advised to move to a better climate, so the family moved to Clovis because it was high and dry.
