This was during the depression days. Foy was a barber and was on his way to California looking for work. During a dust storm, the car hit some horses and he was thrown through the top. At the time his family was living at Pie Flat. He had sisters and brothers there. He was killed late on Friday evening when the car he was riding in ran into some horses on the highway. He had only his brother Joe's picture wrapped in an Elk City, Oklahoma newspaper for identification; and it had his wife's name and address as she wrote articles for the newspaper. She called Kingman, Arizona and identified him by a crooked forefinger on his right hand. His billfold with $15 was stolen, is the reason he could not at first be identified. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/beckham/beckham.htm
