Bailey, Spencer

Spencer Bailey, compressor man at the Niday Mine No. 1, east of Picher Oklahoma, was instantly killed at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon when he attempted to open a door of the transformer house and 2300 volts of electricity shot through his body, said to have been caused by a short in the wiring system. The body was released by Ed Wilson, line foreman of the Empire District Electric Company, who used a hot stick to drag him from the deadly iron structure. Artificial respiration was kept up for an hour and forty-five minutes but proved ineffective. Mr. Bradley lived southeast of Picher Oklahoma, a mile and a half east of Fuller's corner. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lillie Bailey; two daughters, Marie Bailey and Opal Bailey; two sons, George Bailey and Wayne Bailey, all at home; parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Elmer Bailey of Sunnyside; four brothers, Gene Bailey, Baxter Springs Kansas, John Bailey, Quapaw Oklahoma; Bill F. Bailey, of San Francisco California, and Bob E. Bailey of Norman Oklahoma, the latter two in the U.S. Navy, and five sisters, Mrs. Clyde Cowardine, Baxter Springs; Mrs. Thelma Reynolds, and Mrs. Glenn Holloway, both of San Francisco California; Mrs. Bob Poteet, Commerce Oklahoma, and Mrs. Jimmie Kindle, Warshaw Missouri. The body is at Durnil funeral home at Picher. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.
