R.V. Womack Dies Suddenly At Home; Burial To Be In Texas

Hugo, June 15 - R.V. Womack, widely known Hugo business man, died suddenly at his home here Friday morning. Death was due to heart failure. Funeral services will be held at the home here Sunday. Burial will be at Blossom, Texas, his old home.
Womack was born near Booneville, Miss., sixty-seven years ago. He moved with his family to Honey Grove, Fannin county, Texas, when he was 18 years old. Shortly thereafter, they removed to Blossom, Lamar county, Texas, where he spent a large part of his life. In 1892 he was married at Booneville, Miss., to Miss Mollie Hope Harris, who survives him.
During his residence at Blossom, Womack engaged in general merchandise, banking and the cotton oil mill business. The R.V. Womack Mercantile company of Hugo was organized by W.H. Harris, a brother-in-law, in 1902, shortly after the establishment of the city.
Womack came here to take charge of the business in 1909. He formed extensive business connections here, serving as a director, vice president and chairman of the board of the Hugo National bank. When the M.H. Mill and Grain company was organized here last year, he became its president, retaining active management of the mercantile company. Besides his wife, he leaves four daughters and two sons. They are Mrs. O.F. Ellis and Mrs. Claude V. Farrow of Oklahoma City; Jancie and Elizabeth Womack of Hugo; Harry E. Womack of Oklahoma City, and Murray Womack of Hugo.
