To day if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. Hebrews 3:15/James 4:14"Muskogee Co, OK- 1800s Obituaries

page 1, column 4, "Everywhere":
An
awful accident happened to the family of J B MARSHALL, living near Enid,
O.T., last week.
MARSHALL had just completed a large dug out, in which
his family was to reside this summer.
His family of nine children
arrived from Iowa Thursday, and that night they retired in what they
little thought would be a tomb.
While asleep the top support of the dug
out, the trunk of a small black jack tree, gave way from the heavy load
of dirt upon it, and the top of the dug out, several tons of earth, went
crashing in on the family.
Two small tables on one side of the room
held the roof up until the father could extricate his wife and several
children, but the other two were crushed to death."
