Z. T. PRYSE DIED SUDDENLY
Was Postmaster at Mangum, and Well Known in This Section.
Zack T. Pryse, postmaster at Mangum, died very suddenly on Monday last,
from a hemmorage (sic) of the brain.  Mr. Pryse arose in his usual health
that morning, but a short time after complained of a severe pain at the
base of the brain.  Physicians were called, but he steadily grew worse,
soon becoming unconscious, and passing away three hours later.
Mr. Pryse was very well known all over Western Oklahoma, having resided at
Mangum for over thirty years, locating there when old Greer county was
claimed as a portion of the state of Texas.
Less than one year ago, Mr. Pryse was appointed postmaster at Mangum, he
having been quite prominent for years as a Republican politician of
Western Oklahoma.
Funeral services were held Monday night under the direction of the Masonic
fraternity, of which Mr. Pryse was a member, and the remains taken to his
old home in Kentucky for burial.

Zack T. Pryse, postmaster at Mangum died Monday afternoon after a three
hour illness, of hemorrhage of the brain.  He was a district deputy of the
Masonic lodge, and very active in church work and also in politics.  He
has been to Elk City several times and his death was a shock to his
friends here.
