Former Countians Killed in Accident Saturday Evening
Three former Alfalfa countians were killed Saturday evening when the pickup truck in which they were riding was struck by a Santa Fe passenger train on a county road half mile north of the town of Mulhall, Okla.
Killed were John L. Brune, 57, his wife, Mable Grace, 54, and son Harry, 9.
A Triple funeral service for the three is to be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday morning in Mulhall after which the bodies will be brought to Cherokee for services in the Christian church at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Reports are the Brunes were returning to their farm home when their truck was hit by a football special train returning from Norman to Arkansas City.
The engineer of the train told the highway patrol he saw the lights of the approaching truck and blew the whistle several times. The pickup was hurled 75 feet by the impact and all three bodies were thrown from the vehicle.
The Brune family lived for more than a quarter century in the Lambert community before moving to a farm near Mulhall about two years ago. They have numerous relatives and friends here.
Surviving are six children: Three daughters: Mrs. Mary Clem and Mrs Ruth Gaines, Wichita; Mrs Freda Mae Taylor, San Francisco; three sons: Glen and Herman of Lambert and J. F. Wichita.
