Frank Pingleton Rites Today
Funeral services for Frank Pingleton, 69, former police chief of Haileyville, fatally burned on a deer hunting expedition Wednesday morning, were held Friday at 2 p.m. in the Haileyville Baptist church.
Last year at deer hunting season Frank Pingleton had a stroke. He was unable to go on the deer hunting expedition, so this year nothing would do but that he went along with his son, Warren Pingleton, Haileyville Baptist minister, and Charlie Hutchins, Ada.
The four did not make a regular camp but parked their cards near Blanco where the oldest Pingleton could watch for his deer not more than 200 yards from the cars.
They went out Wednesday morning and around 9 a.m., the elder Pingleton said he was tired and Warren took him back to the cars, putting in the car of the Haileyville minister, who was to leave for Haileyville at 10 a.m.
When Evans got to the car, he found Mr. Pingleton, his clothes burned off him, sitting in the cab of Warren’s pickup truck.
Apparently he had started a fire to warm his hands and had been unable to get away from it. He kept saying over and over: “I couldn’t get my feet out of the fire.”
The minister honked the horn, shot his rifle several times to alert the other two hunters, and quickly the burned man was taken to a McAlester hospital for treatment of burns covering 85 percent of his body. He died that night.
It was a difficult service for the young minister but he preached a comforting sermon. The choir with Mrs. Mary Lee Gossett, Oklahoma City, at the piano, sang “The Old Rugged Cross”. Miss Melanie Mariano sand “Beyond the Sunset” and for a closing song the choir sang “It Is Well With My Soul”.
Pall bearers were Louis Hackler, Carl Dumbleton, LeRoy Smith, Russell Benton, Blondie Drummonds and Lyman Tinker. Burial was in Elmwood cemetery under the direction of Evans Funeral Home.
Frank Pingleton was born October 25, 1891 in Rockcastle county, Ky. He came to Indian Territory in 1901. At that time his father had died. He moved to Haileyville in 1906, and had lived there since that time. He was worked in the coal mines, and had been employed t the navy ammunition depot, also serving as town’s marshall for a time.
He was married to Eula Lackey in 1912. One son, Clifford, preceded him in death.
His wife, one daughter and six sons survive. They are Mrs. J.R. Cline, Hartshorne; Carl, Jim, Warren, Bob and LeRoy Pingtonton, Haileyville, and Bill Pingleton, Atoka. A sister, Mrs. John Wixom, Pittsburg, survives and a brother, J.B. Pingleton, Ponca City.
There are 26 grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
The young minister read portions of Romans 8 and I Corinthians 13.
He said, in part: “Death cannot destroy your fondest memories; Death cannot destroy the good times you’ve had as a family. God loves you. God loves the world. God spared not his own son. God sent this Son to save us in times like these. He said: “Come unto me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest”.
“If there is anything that can fill the gap in your life, it is God”, said the young minister.
The minister closed his sermon on this note: “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.”
