CRUTCHFIELD, Cecil  

Assassinated. - Cecil Crutchfield, 16 year old son of Mr. A. A. Crutchfield, was shot through the head and instantly killed at a dance at the old cheese factory, between Ottenheim and Kriser,
between sun down and dark Sunday evening.  There were a number of persons in the house at the time but no-body has been
found who saw the shot fired, or will admit that he knows who fired it.  Judge James P. Bailey, County Attorney Harvey Helm and Deputy Sherriff George
T. Wood spent all of yesterday in the section the assassination occurred, but no arrest had been mad up to the hour of going to press. The murder is a most dastardly orfe
and no means nor trouble will be spared in the effort to bring the guilty party or parties to justice.  Young Crutchfield was a quiet, good boy and his untimely death is deeply deplored.

On Friday, July 24, 1908, after a long and painful illness at her home in Norman, Okla., Mrs. Jas. C. King breathed her last. Hearts in agony are mourning her loss and not alone in her
home will be missed, but by a large circle of friends who loved and admired her.  Early did she place her trust in the Savior, an being led by the Master, thus did she walk with Him and
when death came she did not fear Him, for her daily life was a preparation for all eternity. "After life's fitful fever comes rest."  Allie King was the second daughter of
George W. King and Elizabeth Welch, was born at Crab Orchard Aug. 6, 1863. Twenty one years ago she was married to James C. King. To them were born three
daughters, who will feel the loss of a loving and devoted mother. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Judy Higgins, of Somerset, to mourn her loss.
Grieve not, stricken loved ones, but look to Him Who doeth all things well. [ Allie and James Calvin King buried at Norman I. O. O. F. Cemetery, Norman,
Oklahoma - James Calvin King b. 12/26/1849 - d. 1/1/1933]

WHITE, W. T. B.

From a mortal framework, never robust, and at last made uninhabitable by age and illness, the soul of W. T. B. White was set free on the afternoon of Aug. 5th 1908.
He was of a deeply religious nature. He had the martyr spirit of those who suffered death by torture rather than deny what they considered truth. He had been a Baptist since
boyhood and was devoted to the interests of that church. He was a man of the strictest integrity and morality. Truly that noblest work of God- an honest man. He leaves a devoted wife, who spared
not her feeble strength in the endeavor to render his last years comfortable.
Six children and 11 grandchildren, also an aged brother to mourn the loss of one who was never false to himself or his friends.

esteem by the entire community.  He leaves several brothers and one sister who inherit his estate consisting of a large bluegrass farm one mile from here.
