McCammon, Hugh

33 years old, died shortly before 6 Saturday afternoon in Miami Baptist hospital. Death was believed to be due to apoplexy. McCammon was stricken about noon while at work at the Chubb Mine in Treece Kansas, of which he was superintendent. He was taken to the American hospital in Picher Oklahoma, and then brought to the local hospital about 4 o'clock. McCammon went duck hunting early Saturday morning with friends and while on the trip received a shock which may have resulted in his death. The car in which they were riding became mired in the mud and the strain McCammon made in driving out may have broken a blood vessel. The body was taken to the morgue of the Cooper undertaking company, but funeral arrangements were not announced, pending receipt of word from relatives. McCammon was popular in Miami social circles. He was a Mason, an Elk and a member of the American Legion. During the World War he served in the infantry. McCammon came to Miami from his birthplace at Baxter Springs Kansas in 1912. At the time of his death he lived at 301 A Street northeast, Miami, with his sister, Miss Gussie McCammon, an employee in the First National bank. He is survived by three other sisters, Mrs. Clyde Robinson, 231 A Street northwest; Miami, Mrs. Gus Reuter, 207 C Street southeast, Miami, and Mrs. W. D. Erwin of Albuquerque New Mexico, and two brothers, Mack McCammon of Bartlesville Oklahoma and Rush McCammon of Manhattan Beach California. McCammon had been superintendent of the Chubb Mine about three months. Prior to that time he was employed for seven years at various intervals with the freight department of the Frisco railroad, in the claim department of the Mineral Belt railroad at Picher, and as a dispatcher for the Northeaster Oklahoma railroad.
