SIXKILLER
Funeral service for Dennis W. SIXKILLER, 73, was held Sunday afternoon, 
May 7, in the Baptist church at Watts, with burial in Bell Cemetery. Mr. 
SIXKILLER, a lifelong resident of the community West of Watts, died 
following a heart attack, probably on May 4th.

and soon found the body in a pasture, near the home, where he had suffered 
the attack. For years, Mr. SIXKILLER had been an active farmer and ranchman,
 although retired at the time of his death.
