The Todd undertaking company, of Picher Oklahoma took the body of Claude Norvell, who was killed in a mine accident to Carterville Missouri, where the funeral was held Sunday afternoon.

Clyde Morsey, Miami attorney, as the next friend of Mrs. Viola Novelle, 17 year old widow of Claude Novelle, 25 years old, killed in an accident which occurred at one of the mines of the Admiralty Zinc company, Saturday filed a suit for $15,000 against the company for damages. The petition alleges the company was negligent and this caused the death of the young miner.
