Mrs. John Stitzel Dies Suddenly
At Oklahoma City
This community was greatly
shocked last Friday afternoon
when the news was spread that
Mrs. John Stitzel had suddenly
died at Oklahoma City. Mrs.
Stitzel had recently moved to
Oklahoma City to keep house
for her sons, Russel and Ernest,
who are working in garage there.
On Friday morning she became
ill and was rushed to the hos-
pital but medical aid was of no
avail and she succumbed in a
few hours. Mr. Stitzel was
working in Cashion and was
notified and he left immediately
for the City. The body was
brought here Saturday and
funeral services were held at
the Christian church Sunday
afternoon at two o'clock, con-
ducted by Rev. Carney. One of
the largest crowds we have ever
witnessed at a funeral paid their
last respects to the dead, and
the floral offering showed the
respect of the bereaved friends
for the departed. The remains
were laid in the Cashion cemet-
ery to await the resurrection
morn.
Train Hits Auto.
A fast moving freight train on
the main line of the Santa Fe,
near Waterloo, smashed into the
auto of Ringer and Nave, real
estate men of Edmond, early
Monday morning, resulting in
the instant death of Jess Ringer
and fatal injurias to Wm. Nave,
of which he died a few hours
later, and the total destruction
of the automobile. A high em-
bankment at the crossing ob-
structing the view of the train
is attributed to the cause of the
accident. Many of our readers
will remember Mr. Ringer and
Mr. Nave, as they thoroughly
covered this territory about
eighteen months ago taking oil
leases. Mr. Nave foremerly
lived on a farm two miles south
of Lockridge, but sold his farm
about ten years ago and moved
to Edmond where he has since
been engaged in the real estate
business.
