Friends of the family throughout this region were shocked to learn of the sudden death, last Saturday night of S.C. Havenhill, widely known farmer living in the Locust Grove community a few miles northeast of Twitty. Death came to the 65-year-old man at his home after only a few hours illness.
Schuyler Colfax Havenhill was born Sept. 13, 1873, in Illinois and passed away near Twitty, Texas, Nov. 26, 1938. He was married in Tarrant county, Texas, Sept. 3, 1893.
Surviving relatives include his loving wife and their six children: Clark Havenhill, Sayre, Okla.; Harry Havenhill, Concho Dam, N. Mex.; Grady Havenhill, Twitty; Mrs. S.J. Ellis, Granite, Okla.; Mrs. B.F. Mayhall, Quitaque, and Miss Viola Havenhill, Twitty; also two brothers, Wallace Havenhill, Fort Worth and R.B. Havenhill, Hale Center, and two sisters, Mrs. W.B. Day, Fort Worth and Mrs. Belle Doland, Albany, Ore.; a nephew, J.C. Havenhill of Elk City, Okla. and a number of grandchildren and more distant relatives.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Church of Christ in Wheeler, with Rev. S.A. Ribble of Shamrock in charge, when a large concourse of people assembled to pay a last tribute of respect to a highly respected citizen.
Pall bearers were O. Nations, R.H. Forrester and C.B. Witt, Wheeler; W.L. Teakell and W.A. Jolly of Twitty and B.B. Baker of Vinson, Okla. Flower attendants were Pauline Schaub, Wheeler; Eula Lee Hefley and Novella Whitener, Twitty, and Mrs. J.N. Tindall, Shamrock.
