FORMER RESIDENT DIES AT PLAINVIEW...

O. S. (Oscar) SLOAN, a former resident of this county and well known 
to a number of residents in the Doans and Fargo Communities died 
suddenly of a heart attack in Plainview at his home last week.

that city with Rev. Aaron Shaw and Rev. L.B. Reaves, Baptist 
Ministers officiating. Interment was made at the Plainview Cemetery.

A clipping from a Plainview newspaper, mailed to the Vernon Times 
for publication by his wife, the former Miss Nell MILLER, a native 
of this county, gives the following information regarding the death 
of her husband:

"O. S. SLOAN, a resident here the past six years, died of a heart 
attack late Friday afternoon. He was stricken while sitting in his 
car at the city auditorium where he was employed as caretaker. A 
passerby noticed that he was ill and an ambulance was summoned. He 
died a few minutes after reaching the hospital.

Born Sept. 22, 1885, at Cumby in Hopkins County, SLOAN moved with 
his parents to the Indian territory in Oklahoma when he was a year 
old. Later he moved from Oklahoma to Vernon where on Oct. 5, 1907, 
he was married to Miss Clara Nell MILLER, who is among survivors.

In 1917 the family moved from Vernon to Amarillo where SLOAN was 
employed in the Santa Fe railway shops for three years. He then 
engaged in the real estate business with L.S. GILL (and) for a time 
was in 1923 joined the Amarillo Police force. In 1925 he became 
deputy sheriff under Wylie POLLARD and in 1927 the family moved to 
Eakly, [Caddo Co.] OK, where SLOAN farmed. In 1938 the family moved 
to Plainview.

SLOAN was a member of the Baptist Church. Besides his wife, two 
daughters; Misses Imogene and Evelyn Sloan, both of Plainview, 
survive. Also surviving are a brother JOHN SLOAN, Glendale, CA; two 
sisters; Mrs. J.F. GARRETT, Wichita Falls, and Mrs. James W.
