Holdge, aged 40, who resided four miles west and three- fourth miles north of Anadarko, died in a Chickasha hospital about midnight last Thursday as a result of injuries received at a Washita gin Thursday afternoon. Mr. Holdge had been standing on top of a load of cotton that was being discharged at the gin, when the team pulled forward suddenly, causing him to topple backwards to the ground. His skull was fractured in the fall. The Gish ambulance was called and he was rushed to the Chickasha hospital in a critical condition. An operation removed the pressure caused by the injury but death followed several hours later. The body was returned to Anadarko and funeral services were held at the Anadarko cemetery Saturday afternoon at 2:30 with the Gish Funeral Home in charge. Rev. F.L. Farrington conducted the services. Deceased leaves his wife and six children, mother, four brothers and three sisters. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Caddo County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/caddo/caddo.html
