The Chandler News. (Chandler, Okla.), Thursday, March 24, 1904
Death of M. H. Reeves.
The sudden death of M. H. Reeves which occurred about 5 o’clock Saturday evening, was a great shock to the community. On Thursday Mr. Reeves was on the street. Not feeling well, he went into a drug store and bought some bromo-quinine, thinking he had another touch of the grip from which he had recovered five or six days previously. About five o’clock that evening he was taken with a severe chill and Dr. Wolcott was summoned in haste. There was another hard chill Friday morning, respiration increased to 40, and only at brief intervals did the patient rally from the comatose state into which he sunk at the start. The gravest fears were felt by the physician from the beginning and on Saturday morning Dr. Wolcott asked for a consultation which was held, all agreeing upon diagnosis of meningitis.

Mr. Reeves was one of the early settlers of Chandler and a man of considerable property. He was one of the heaviest sufferers from the cyclone, his daughter, Maggie, and little son Chandler, being among those who lost their lives from burns received when their house was blown away that tragic day in March seven years ago. In many ways he had seen a great deal of trouble, but had come through it bravely and now in the midst of a happy home with loving little ones about him he is suddenly stricken down.

The circumstances are most distressing. Mrs. Reeves had already been confined to her bed for several days with the grip when her husband was taken sick, and is not yet able to leave it.

Funeral services were conducted from the home at 2:30 Monday afternoon under the auspices of the Masons. A brief sermon was preached by Rev. Cravens who spoke sweet words of comfort to the sorrowing ones. The attendance was very large and the floral offerings most beautiful. By the loving hands of brother Masons all that was mortal of the departed was laid to rest in beautiful Oak Park beside many of his loved ones who had gone before.

Beside the wife and three little ones are a little step daughter, a son, Harry, and daughter, Mrs. F. L. McCall, to mourn the departure of a loving protector. – Daily Publicist.

In March 1911 he submitted to the amputation of his right leg which was the injured member with the hope that his health might be permanently restored, but the deadly poison has scattered through his body and would not yield to any treatment. The decline was gradual until on Friday morning the tired heart refused to pulsate longer and the poor sufferer slipped away from earth. Charles Harrison the son of Robert Harrison and wife was born in Scranton, Feb. 22, 1881 and at the time of his death was in the 33rd year of his life. He was married to Miss Edith Carter March 8, 1905. The wife and three children, father, mother, two sisters and five brothers mourn his departure from this life. The funeral was conducted by Rev.

231 Child Dies From Burns
A very distressing accident happened late last Friday evening which caused the death of Duane, two-and-a-half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Tull, living northwest of Arapahoe. A boiler of hot water had been set out in the yard to be used in putting meat down in brine, and the youngster, unnoticed and unnoticing, was pulling his wagon, walking backward and fell into the boiler. Medical aid was secured at once and although the water had been standing outside about an hour, the burns which were confined to the back, were sever and the baby passed away about five hours later.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the Methodist church, Rev. W.S. Morris officiating. Special music was furnished by the quartet composed of Ralph Murdoch, L. Clyde Prime, C.M. Evans and Ralph Sohn, accompanied by William McCrory. Interment in the Arapahoe cemetery.
Duane Shields Tull was born at Arapahoe June 21, 1923 and passed away January 29, 1926 at the tender age of two years, seven months and eight days. It is consoling to his parents to know that God with His Infinite love called him peacefully to be with Him. Duane, with his bright and loveable disposition had a place in his home that can never be filled. He leaves to mourn his sorrowing parents, Herbert and Elfreda; one brother, Tommy, a sister, Marjorie Ann; his grandparents and other relatives.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved parents in their irreparable loss.

Mr. and Mrs. Randolph moved to the Benkelman community about 1939. About two years later he and Mr. Chandler purchased the Quality Market, where he engage in the grocery and meat business.
During the late forties he served as Mayor of Benkelman for a few years. Soon after that his health began to fail. On May 9th he was taken to St. Luke’s hospital in Denver where he passed away just after noon on May 12, at the age of 53 years, 6 months and 11 days.

247 Cottage Grove – Federal Aviation Administration investigators have not yet determined the cause of a plane crash that claimed the lives of two brothers here Tuesday.
Thomas William Pitcher, 31, of Rte.1, Box 11, Cottage Grove, formerly of Pacific, Wash, and his younger brother, Gary Wayne Pitcher, 19, of 414 Thornton Lane, Cottage Grove, died when their single-engine Luscombe plane crashed and burned in a pasture about a mile south of the Saginaw interchange on Interstate 5.
The two were sons of Cottage Grove State Airport Manager Alpha O. Pitcher. The younger brother had been living at his parents’ home at the airport on Thornton Lane, according to state police.
The two men had taken off from the small airport apparently just minutes before they crashed at 12:15 p.m. in the pasture just north of the runway, witnesses said.
The pasture is part of the George Molitor farm on Rte.1 Box 644, Cottage Grove.
Molitor’s 13-year-old daughter, Sally, told police she was wending a fence when she saw the plane crash. She said it had been flying north about 60 feet off the ground when it suddenly looped on its back, went into a tailspin and dropped almost straight down near a herd of cattle.
She said she ran and got her father who was the first person at the crash site. Molitor pulled the two men from the burning plane, but they were already dead, she said.
The plane broke apart and burned on impact. The plane’s nose and cabin were smashed into a shapeless mass, and one wing split off, landing several yards away from the wreckage. Only the wings and tail remained somewhat intact.
The plane had been purchased recently by Thomas Pitcher, according to state police.
FAA officials were still investigating the cause of the crash Wednesday, police said. State police added they had not determined the pair’s destination.
The bodies were taken to Smith-Lund Funeral Chapel in Cottage Grove.
