Enid (OK) Daily Eagle, 18 Dec 1934:
One man was killed and four other persons were injured, two dangerously, in a head-on
automobile collision a half mile east of Lahoma at 10:15 o'clock this morning. Paul L. Crider,
35, 1011 East Broadway, district representative for Eason Oil Company, was killed instantly.
Mr. and Mrs. Pete K. Kroeger of Meno, young bride and groom of last Sunday, were dangerously
hurt and in a most serious condition at an Enid hospital. They and Henry Kroeger, 18, of Dalhart, Texas, who came to Oklahoma for the wedding of his brother, and Leonard Decker, 11, of Meno, brother of Mrs. Kroeger, were in an automobile headed east on the highway. Crider was alone in the other car, headed west. It was a coach and partly loaded with new tires. The impact of the collision threw the tires forward in the Crider car and threw him out through the door of the car onto the pavement. The Kroeger car was pushed completely off the slab and thrown int a ditch. It was almost demolished.
The accident occured during the rain and snow storm that swept this region this afternoon. Joe
J. Cavin, sheriff, was notified and he completed the investigation of the accident. Bill Aitken of Oklahoma City, insurance company representative, was down the highway, going west, he told the sheriff.
Crider is survived by his widow and three children. He had been with the Eason Company for nine years, stationed at Watonga, Enid and other points. He was the brother of Ben Crider, former sheriff of Grant County.
The Schaeffer Funeral Home had the body.
