GEORGE S. BAYS IS DEAD
HEART ATTACK FATAL TO A STANOLIND EXECUTIVE
In Oil Business Since 1912, He Had Invented Much Equipment for the Petroleum Industry.
TULSA, Oct. 20.—George Samuel Bays, consulting engineer for the Stanolind Oil & Gas Co., died last night, at his home here. Death was attributed to a heart attack.
Well known throughout the oil industry, Bays had devoted nearly all his working career to the petroleum business. He was one of the first in the industry to advocate conservation practices in the production of oil and gas. He had been identified with Stanolind since 1931.
A native of Kansas, Bays would have been 61 years old October 28. He was born in 1888 in Severy, Kas., and was educated at the Conway Springs high school and in Independence. He studied civil engineering at the University of Kansas.
Bays's association with the oil business began in 1912 when he joined the Magnolia Petroleum company. In 1922 he became general superintendent of the McMan Oil & Gas Co. When McMan was merged with Stanolind in 1931, Bays became superintendent of gas and gasoline production. He later served as chief engineer, chief research engineer and finally consulting engineer.
Bays was known for several Inventions that were adopted as oil field equipment. Design and construction of new pieces of equipment was one of his hobbies.
Bays is survived by a son, George S. Bays, Jr., Baytown, Tex., and a daughter, Mrs. Ruth Bays Holt, Kingsville, Tex. His wife, Mrs. Bessie Ruth Bays, died in August, 1948.
