NEVIUS, RUSSELL
(7 Jun 1928, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
RUSSELL NEVIUS KILLED.
Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Nevius of Borger, Texas, formerly of Elk City, received
a message Sunday, May 27, from Long Beach, California, that their son,
Russell Nevius was accidentally killed.  He and Mrs. Neivus (sic) and a
neighbor and wife were on the highway, when they had tire trouble.  While
fixing the tire, a nineteen year old boy, who had been drinking, ran into
the two men, they were rushed to a hospital where Russell died one hour
later.
Russell was 35 years old the 25th day of May 1928.  He leaves his wife,
mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Nevius of Borger, Texas; a sister,
Mrs. Deborah Smith of Erick; a brother, A. J. Nevius of Houston, Texas,
and a host of friends and other relatives.  He lived a greater part of his
life on a farm north of Hammon.
Mr. and Mrs. Nevius have many friends in Elk City who will be grieved to
hear of their sorrow.
