Woodward Daily News, Saturday, July 13, 1935. Front Page -- from Microfilm by Lynn Rittenhouse-Hamm:

Funeral service for Harvey Love, truck driver for Kelly-Kickinson Oil company who was killed in an accident yesterday (Friday) near Ringwood will be held Sunday (July 14, 1935) afternoon, 2:30 o'clock at Chenowerth's Mortuary. Burial will be in Elmwood cemetery.
Love, 36 years old is survived by his wife and five children. He had been working here two months, coming from the Harmon vicinity. The truck Love was driving went out of control on a curve and overturned, an oil tank becoming unfastened and crushing the cab which contained the driver and two sons. The man was picked up a little later by a passing motorist and rushed to Ringwood but died en route. Examination revealed a crushed chest and broken back.
Visitors to the scene of the accident said great holes were torn in the road and embankment. They did not know whether he had tried to take the curve too fast or had swung too wide to allow a passing car to make the turn.
Love was en route from Garber to Woodward when the mishap occurred. The two sons were treated for minor cuts and bruises.

Ringwood, OK is about 10 miles west of Lahoma and about 20 miles west of Enid.
