HADDOCK, OWEN J.
(27 Apr 1924, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Owen Haddock Passed Away Last Thursday Night.
The announcement, here, last Friday morning that Owen Haddock, whose life
has hung by a thread for several weeks, had died at the Arthur Creach
home, the night before, cast a pall of deepest sorrow over this entire
community.  Just in the prime of young manhood, his death due to an
accident, not only deeply grieves the surviving membership of his
immediate family, but is terrible blow to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Arthur
Creach, who innocently held the gun, the accidental discharge of which
cost his life.
Mr. Haddock was 25 years of age, a barber by profession and his genial,
kindly disposition drew to him the cordial friendship of all with whom he
came in conduct.
He is survived by a broken-hearted widow and eight-month's old infant, a
loving father and mother, three sisters and four brothers, along with a
host of other sorrowing relatives and friends.
Conducted by Elder W. W. Brewer, the funeral was held Friday afternoon, at
the Christian church, following by a large company, were taken to their
last resting place at the city cemetery.  At the grave 16 robed and masked
Ku Klux appeared and performed the funeral rites of that order.
