McKibben, Harve

64 year old life-long resident of Ottawa county Oklahoma, died Monday in a Clinton tuberculosis hospital where he had been a patient one week. McKibben had been active in the local mining field since boy-hood. He entered semi-retirement in 1941, and had been in failing health since that time.

He sold his interests in 1941 and moved to the Promenade district, east of Quapaw Oklahoma, where he was living at the time of his death. Survivors include his wife, Anna McKibben, of the home; two daughters, Mrs. Charles Banks Wilson, 24? A Street northeast, Miami and Mrs. W. E. Watson, Dallas; four sons, Harvey McKibben, Oklahoma City; Hayes McKibben and Jesse McKibben, both of the home; two brothers, Jake McKibben, Baxter Springs Kansas, and D. F. McKibben of the Promenade district, and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Smith, Fairland Oklahoma, and Mrs. J. W. Mitchell, Brooklyn New York. Funeral arrangements were incomplete today. They will be announced by the Cooper funeral home, Miami.
