Burns Cause Death
Of Emmett Oakley
Emmett M. Oakley died last Friday morning at 8 o'clock in a hospital at Sulphur where he was being treated for burns received the previous Monday.
The previous day his condition was reported as much improved and it was believed he had a good chance to get well. News of his death was received with much sadness as he had lived here a long time and had lots of friends.
Mr. Oakley was burned while refilling a gasoline stove. Some of the gasoline was spilled and this caught fire from another stove, and he was severely burned on his back, legs and arms.
The funeral was held at the Methodist church at Davis Saturday afternoon at 2:30. A large crowd was in attendance. The services was conducted by Rev. A.E. Watford of Marietta, assisted by the local pastor, Rev. J. F. Hendrey. Burial was in Green Hill cemetery.
Emmett Monroe Oakley was born at Hammonsville, Ark., Dec. 22, 1894, and would have been 33 years old in December. He had lived in and near Davis since 1908. On March 17, 1917, he married Miss May Hunt, and she and their 9 year old daughter Aileen are left to mourn the departure of their husband and father.
Other surviving relatives are: his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Oakley.; six brothers, Jack Oakley of Ardmore; Jim Oakley of Coleman, Okla.; Hubert, Bruce, Glen and Roy Oakley of Davis; and two sisters, Mrs. Troy Chronister of Corona, Cal., and Madie Oakley of Davis.
Emmett Oakley was a fine fellow whom everybody liked. He was reliable and trustworthy and strict in business. He was associated with his father and brothers in business in Davis several years and later was employed at Milner's Bakery. The last two summers he worked in White's Bakery and Confectionery at Sulphur, where he was working when the unfortunate accident happened which caused his death.
