BREWER, OTTO M.
(10 Apr 1924, The Sayre Journal, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. John Winburn received the sad news of the instant death of her
brother, Otis Brewer, who just recently moved to Huntington Beach, Calif. 
They have not received details about the death except that while riding
his motorcycle there was some accident which crushed his skull.  His
parents Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Brewer, who reside in Dempsey have made
preparations for burial there, the body is expected Tuesday evening.  Our
heartfelt sympathy and condolence are extended to the bereaved family. 
Now that death has wrapped her robe of eternal sleep about him, we can
only say, "Thy will be done."
(17 Apr 1924):
We spoke last week of the death of Otis Brewer of California.  The later
news says he was accidently hurt with a motor cycle.  He had started to
town to get his lunch.  That morning he had started to work for an oil
company.  There was no eye witnesses to tell how he got hurt.  He had a
meal ticket on his body when found and was identified by his cousin Lloyd
Brewer, who was taking his meals at the same place where Otis was going
to.  His brother Bert Brewer was sent for at once and he was taken to the
Hospital.  He never did regain consciousness.  This happened Saturday noon
April 5th and he died that night at 10 o'clock.  He was brought home for
burial.  His brother and wife accompanied the remains.  His broken hearted
mother and father and brothers met the train at Sayre, Wednesday night. 
He was buried in the Dempsey Cemetery.  Otis was born July 3, 1902 and was
21 yrs 9 months and five days old.  He was born and raised near Grimes,
Okla.  He leaves his parents, five brothers and three sisters (all were
present for the funeral) and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his
death.
