Obituary- Stackhouse, Frank

FRANK STACKHOUSE KILLED
Former Rossville Boy Victim of
Boiler Explosion in the Oklahoma
City Oil Field.
(Shawnee, Okla., Morning News)
Frank Stackhouse of 223 North Union Street, Shawnee, was killed and two Oklahoma City men injured in a boiler explosion in the Oklahoma City oil field last night (Thursday, Oct. 31.)

Stackhouse was an employee of the B. and A. Drilling company and was working between two boilers on a lease west of the I. T. I. O. plant when the explosion occurred. Geo McNevens and Frank Brumley, both of Oklahoma City, were injured, although not seriously.

Stackhouse was thrown against the second boiler by the explosion and scalded severely by the escaping steam. It is thought he died almost instantly. The explosion occurred about 9 o’clock last night.

Celestine Stackhouse, a daughter, was notified of the accident while partaking in Hallowe’en merry-making here last night and left immediately for Oklahoma City with her mother.

Stackhouse’s body was taken to the Watts and McAtee Funeral home in Oklahoma City.
