Last rites for Robert Crumrine will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. at the First Baptist church in Pawhuska.
Crumrine died Thursday from a shock received while working on a high-line at the county fairgrounds. According to observers, he began to fall from a temporary rigging while attac[h]ing a wire and touched a main line wire which carried 2,300 volts. An employee of the city for three years, Crumrine was born in Pawhuska, March 15, 1909. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry, moved to Centralia, Oklahoma from Pawhuska a few years ago. They were among the early settlers here.
In 1931 he married Miss Lucille Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Williams of Pawhuska. He was an active member of the local Baptist church.
Survivors include Mrs. Crumrine, and two children, Carolyn Sue, age four, and Dorotha Ann, three. There are three living brothers, Orville of Houston, Texas, Lloyd of Centralia, and Everett of Centralia; and three sisters, Mrs. Iva Moore of Houston, Texas, and Misses Bertha Mae and Erma Lee Crumrine, both of Centralia, Oklahoma.

Burial will be in the city cemetery at the side of an infant son who died in 1934.
