DEATH OF RAY PEPPARD
A telegram from Oklahoma City last Friday brought to Samuel Peppard and wife of this place the startling word that their son Ray had been killed by a fall from a scaffold on a big hotel building. Later word confirmed the sorrowful news. A defective scaffold which, it is claimed, had been condemned, gave way and Ray and two other workmen fell from the 5th story. One of the men caught hold of a window sill and saved himself, another, a hod carrier, was badly and perhaps fatally injured, while Ray was almost instantly killed.
The remains reached here on Tuesday forenoon accompanied by four of the surviving brothers and Lond Denning, brother-in-law of the deceased. The funeral was held Wednesday at 10 a.m., at the Methodist church, Rev. Mr. Williams preached and Rev. Mr. Saunders offering prayer. A quartette, Mrs. Davis, Miss Alexander and Messrs. Rice and McClenny, sang beautiful hymns. There was a large congregation present, and there were many beautiful flowers, some coming from Oklahoma City.
Raymond Peppard was born in Oskaloosa and lived here until grown to manhood, and was 30 years old at time of death. He was married in 1903 at Chanute to Miss Ona Denning, and has been a devoted husband always. Only a short time ago, the mother received a letter from her son's wife in which she spoke of their happiness and of Ray's devotion, he never spending an evening away from home except in her company. The shock of his death utterly prostrated the young wife and she was in care of a physician and nurse and unable to come to Oskaloosa. In her terrible affliction she has the sympathy of the large number of her husband's friends here.
