Truck Hits Tulsan, Injury is Fatal
TULSA, Sept. .23 H. R. Standlee, 44, died today of injuries
received six ''ours earlier when he was struck' down- by- a
truck on a highway at the eastern edge of the city.
The truck was driven by Herbert Dearing of Tulsa. State highway patrolmen
Harvey Hawkins and Lloyd Ricks investigated and said Dearing was not to
blame.
Standlee was walking at the edge of the road and Dearing
said the lights of a switch engine on a railroad spur nearby nade it
impossible, for him to see Standlee before it was too- late to stop.
His obituary included his two sons. Full name is Harvey
Richard Standlee on one patent of his I read. He was
listed as a patentee in 1924 Tulsa directory and as an
inventor in 1927 directory while married to Mabel.
The two funeral homes I called did not handle Harvey's
service. I doubt they would have had anymore more info
on survivors than what his obituary listed.
I found Oleva listed in the 1952 and 1954 Ca. Voter's
Registration in Los Angeles county.
Son Harvey R., a veteran has a page on Find A Grave.
He served in Korea, my uncle died there in 1948.
