DEATH OF CAPT. IKARD

The death of Capt. E. F. Ikard occurred in Oklahoma City this week. He was 70 years of age and is survived by a widow and five children, two of whom live in this city. A brother, Judge M. Ikard, lives at Ardmore. Capt. Ikard was, for a number of years, a resident of Fort Worth, Texas, but for a number of years prior to his death had been a resident of Oklahoma's capital city. At one time he was one of the largest cattlemen in the Texas Panhandle, ranking as one of the wealthy cattle kings who rule the cow country of the southwest a quarter of a century ago. For a long time he was captain of the Texas Rangers and will be remembered by many old timers who still survive the stirring day of the border.

E. L. IKARD
E. L. Ikard, aged 69, died at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, at his residence, 114 East Third street. Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning at the residence. Interment will be at Fairlawn.

The Ikards were among the first ranchers in North Texas to fence their land but because they left large gaps and gates, they were never troubled by fence-cutting. The Indians also left them alone because the Ikards employed several Indian cowboys and paid Quanah Parker a fee every month for protection from raids.

First marriage was to Jane Jennie Phelps in 1867 Weatherford, TX
