Author: WandaPurcell13 Surnames: Sheehan, Vance, Williams, Maddox Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.oklahoma.counties.rogermills/8774/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Tuesday afternoon about four o'clock. G.E. Vance, bartender in J.S. William's saloon at Sayre, shot and instantly killed Walter Sheehan, and wounded Henry Maddox. The wounds of Maddox, however, were accidently and not serious. It seems that Maddox and Walter Sheehan were fighting. Maddox was making an effort to strike Walter over the head with a pistol, when his brother, Luther Sheehan, walked up and wrenching the weapon from his hand started to the front door of the saloon to throw it out and did throw it out into the street. At this point Vance, who was in no way mixed up in the trouble, fired the contents of a double barrel shotgun into Walter Sheehan's head and face, and turning took a shot at Luther Sheehan who was going towards the dsoor with Maddox's pistol. Maddox, who had his hand about Sheehan's throat or head, lost a finger and received a few shot in the face. Walter Sheehan was a quiet peaceable young married man. Vance and Maddox have been in trouble frequently. We are told that the coroner's inquest was damning.

"I've known David 30 years, and he never said a bad thing about anybody. He always radiated goodness and such a positive attidue. It's such a shock to all of us, and such a loss." Karen Austin, a McKinney piano teacher, said: "David was a well-respected man and a really fine teacher. One of his greatest assets was listening. He knew how to listen when people talked, and when people played."

After Raymond's passing Bessie enjoyed going on trips to Branson and San Antionio with the church. These were memories she never forgot. Besssie's greatest joy was her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great granddaughter. She loved making quilts and crocheting for each of them. She also took great pleasure from babysitting and teaching them how to play Dominoes and Rummy Cube. Her favorite things to do were spoiling them rotten and sending them home.
