LONG-TIME CHICKASHA BUSINESS OWNER DIES MONDAY

By Jason Clarke

Staff Writer

Chickasha Police are investigation the death of a long-time Chickasha
business owner.

Marshall Settle was found lying on his back just inside the back door of
Liberty Drug on Monday afternoon,

Liberty Drug owner Keith Neidy said Settle had just been in the store and
was probably on his way to his vehicle in the back parking lot.

Employees Mika Smith and Judy May administered CPR on Settle until EMS
arrived to take over.

Settle later died at Grady Memorial Hospital, according to Assistant
Police Chief Keith Springstead. Springstead said Settle's death is
currently under investigation.

No foul play is believed to be involved.

Marshall Settle and wife Frances were former owners of The Star Publishing
Company, which they purchased in 1975. At the time the company ran four
newspapers, the Chickasha Star, the Tuttle Times, the Minco Minstrel and
the Duncan Eagle.

The Eagle was sold to the Duncan Banner in 1983.
Under the direction of son David, the Chickasha Star became a daily paper
in 1995.

In 1998, the Chickasha Star and competitor Chickasha Daily Express were
purchased by Community Newspaper Holdings Incorporated, and merged to form
the Express-Star. CNHI still produces the Tuttle Times, however the Minco
Minstrel was discontinued shortly after its acquisition.

Marshall Settle served as Governor of District 5770 of Rotary
International in 1974 to 1974 and, in 1994, he served as President of the
Oklahoma Press Association.
