RANDALL SCOTT EYSTER

Randall Scott Eyster, son of Melvin and Vivian Eyster, was born August 10, 1959, and departed this life, after a brief illness of meningitis, Dec. 3, 1959 at the age of three months and 23 days.

In addition to his parents, Randy leaves to mourn his departure four grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Reil of Tofield, Alberta, and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Eyster of Maitland, Florida, as well as a host of other relatives and friends.

Randy was a sweet baby whose quiet disposition and winsome smile won the affection of many.

Apparently it pleased God to grant Randy this brief stay in his earthly home in order that he might bring a ray of sunshine to those who knew him so intimately. In his own small way, as he gazed upon the picture of his heavenly Master, he seemed to sense the call of Christ's words, “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.”

Funeral services were held at the Bethany Brethren in Christ Church near Thomas, Okla. with Rev. Ivan Lind and Rev. Jesse Eyster officiating. Interment was at the Bethany cemetery.
