J. E. WHITTAKER writes under date of May 8 that William, the youngest son of James MAIZE of East Lincoln avenue, was fatally injured while drilling a well near Drumwright, Oklahoma. He was pulling casing when the calf wheel pulled out ant the bull rope in some way got afoul a piece of one inch pipe on the bater barrell and threw the pipe or nipple with such force against MAIZE's forehead that it penetrated the brain. The injured man was rushed to Cushing, twelve miles away, and his recovery is doubtful. William MAIZE was probably the youngest driller in the Drumright field. Formerly he was employed in the California field. His mother and brother Dick are somewhere in California. His oldest brother Frank was at Blue Cree, W. Va., the last time heard from last winter. William MAIZE was at one time a pupil in the McDonald High School. His friends are numerous here and in the different oil fields where he had employment. May 22, 1914 Record James MAIZE received a letter on Monday from his son, Richard MAIZE, written at Cushing, Okla., saying that William MAIZE is still alive and that he has a chance for recovery. A one-inch nipple, three inches long, entered his forehead to the right of the center. He lost some brain matter but it is thought that will not affect his mind if he should recover. May 29, 1914 Record J. E. WHITTAKER writes from Drumright, Okla., under the date of May 20, that William MAIZE, twenty-six years old, succumbed to the injuries received two weeks ago. MAIZE was pulling casing in the oil field twelve miles out of Cushing when the calf wheel shaft tore loose from the posts and the bull rope became entangled with the one-inch water line at the water barrel, tearing it loose, and it struck Mr. MAIZE in the forehead, from the effects of which he never recovered. His brothers, Frank of West Virginia and Richard of California, were with him when he died. The body was shipped to California where his mother resides. William MAIZE was born and reared in McDonald. He graduated from the McDonald High School with the class of 1906. He worked in the oil fields of West Virginia, later went to California and last to Oklahoma where he was accounted the youngest oil driller in the field. He was well and favorably known to the oil fraternity. His father, James MAIZE resides in Lincoln avenue, McDonald.
