[and several children and two brothers, Ben and John Mercer. -- 2 Shamrock Men Killed at Frisco Grade Crossing F. M. Rundle and Joe Wheeler, both residents of Shamrock, were instantly killed this morning near Bristow, when they attempted to cross the Frisco track in front of a northbound passenger train. According to information from Bristow this morning, the two men driving a ford roadster, were near the track when the Oklahoma City Sapulpa train approached. The men thinking to beat the train across speeded up and went directly on the track when the engine hit their car. Both were thrown about fifty feet and their bodies terribly mangled. The accident occurred three miles from Bristow, near the poor farm. Wheeler, it is learned, is married and leaves a wife and several children. An inquest will be held this afternoon.-----Monday’s Sapulpa American -- John Newman Passes away John Wesley Newman died at the home of his son, Noah Newman, Saturday and was layed to rest in the Stroud cemetery Monday. He had lived near Depew for the past 19 years and was one of the few surviving Civil War veterans. He served a term during the war in Company H Kentucky Calvary and had been palsied for a good many years, but got around rather spry for a man 90 years of age, often walking two or three miles to town. He leaves two children and a wife to mourn his loss. They are Noah Newman, a farmer resident near town, and Mrs. Harve Williams, living out south of town. He had 22 grand-children and 5 great grand-children. He had lived a consistent Christian life and was highly respected by his many acquaintances. _____ May 7, 1920 None May 14, 1920 None

May 21, 1920 Born to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Graves Wednesday May 19th, a girl. _____ May 28 None _____ June 4, 1920 Kinch-Austin Nuptuals Married at Drumright Tuesday June 1st, Joseph Hames Kinch and Miss Grayce Elizabeth Austin. The groom has practically grown to manhood in Depew, coming here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kinch some twelve years ago. He is one of the most popular young men in town and won his place in the hearts of his acquaintances by his strict attention to business and his congenial manner. When war with Germany came on he tried to "break in," but had to be content to wait his turn and when it came he willingly shouldered his share of the burden. Coming back from Germany he began to lay plans for the future and no future would be complete without the "only one" to share it with you. Miss Austin was a teacher in our schools for several years, later teaching at Drumright. It is a hard matter for a poor country editor to find words sufficient to express the loveliness of character embodied in the bride. Besides being one of the best teachers we have ever had in our schools, she won a place in the esteem of the patrons that is incomparable. After the ceremony at Drumright the newly-made-happys will visit with the bride’s parents at Longdale, Oklahoma, and then spend a few days in Oklahoma City and visit with Mr. and Mrs. Plenttner at Newalla, then to Depew where they will live. The Independent joins their many friends in wishing them all the pleasure, happiness and prosperity possible for them to corral. _____ June 11, 1920 None
