Olin Haught Met Tragic Death on Farm At Witter - Neck Broken When He Was Thrown on His Head From Wagon - Olin Haught, 22 years old, was killed almost instantly Tuesday on his father's farm near Witter, 12 miles south of Huntsville. The young man was driving a wagon and team into a field to do some farrowing when one of the wheels struck a stump and tipped the wagon up, throwing him out of the wagon and landing him on his head breaking his neck. He lived for a few minutes after being carried to the house by his sister, Miss Elsie and Kenneth Vanzile, a friend from Shamrock, Oklahoma, who was visiting him.
No one saw the tragic accident, notwithstanding Mr. Vanzile was only a short distance away, he having opened a gate for Olin to drive through and had remained to close the gate as Olin drove on towards the place of work. Mr. Vanzile heard the impact of the wagon against the stump and the noise made by the team as it attempted to run. When he turned toward the sound he saw young Haught lying on the ground and ran to him and asked him how bad he was hurt but Olin would only answer his question by motion of his hand. A physician was summoned as quickly as possible, but without a doubt the unfortunate young man was dead before the messenger could reach a telephone.
The young man was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Haught who moved with their children to Shamrock, Oklahoma about 18 years ago for educational facilities. About six months ago the family decided to move back to their farm and the mother and this son came then to to begin preparations for a crop. Mrs. Haught remained with her son and assisted him in the management of the work on the farm till about two weeks ago when the father and mother returned to Shamrock where Mr. Haught has employment.
Besides his parents and the sister who was wit him, the young man is survived by two other sisters and one brother, Mrs. R. C. Hammack of Albany, Texas; Mrs. Ward Martin of San Osespo, California; and Oris Haught of Shamrock, Oklahoma. The absent relatives have been notified of the tragedy and the funeral will be held today (Thursday) with interment at Shamrock, Oklahoma. Mr. Haught was a _____ young man. After finishing High School he attended the Oklahoma University at Norman but had temporarily suspended his educational career to assist his parents returning to their farm.
