REDDING, LUKE
(Oct 1930, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
OLD INJURY IS FATAL TO YOUTH
Luke Redding, 19, of Paris, Ark., died in a city hospital last evening
from a fractured skull, which members of his family state, he sustained in
an accident in a coal mine at Paris two months ago.
The youth came to Elk City a week ago with a group of men, to pick cotton.
 He had, apparently, recovered from the injury.  Saturday afternoon he
became unconscious after complaining with a pain in his head and was
brought to the hospital here.  He was employed by A. J. McKinney, farmer
southeast of the city.
J. N. Redding, father of the deceased, and two sons, Clark Redding and
Robert Redding, of Paris, arrived here Monday.
The body was prepared for burial by Killough-Hullum and was shipped to
Paris this afternoon.
