R. J. (Bob) Murrell Died Suddenly Sunday Night
People of Gatesville and the northwest section of the county were shocked Monday morning when news spread over the city and county that Mr. Bob Murrell had died from a heart attack early Sunday night at his home north of Levita. While it was known that he had not been well for a week or more, he had not been confined to his bed and his death was unexpected. He and his wife were sitting in their bedroom making preparations for retire when Mr. Murrell walked across the room for a drink of water. It was then that he succumbed. Funeral services were held at the Ater church at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon with Morton Scott funeral director in charge. Services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. W. Whitefield, Burial was in the Ater cemetery. Mr. Murrell was born in Coryell county, October 5, 1858. At the time of his death he was probably the oldest man to be a native of this county and has seen it change from a place in which cattle roamed the prairies freely to one of the best developed sections of the state. He liked to talk of the early days of his life when he spent much time in the saddle here and in sections west of here. Not many years ago he attended the annual "Cowboy Reunion" in Abilene and enjoyed seeing many of the old timers. On October 20, 1887 , Mr. Murrell and Mrs. Allie Smith Shipman were married and moved to the present home on the Leon river north of Levita. In the spring of 1925 he united with the Methodist church at Levita. Besides his wife he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. W. M. Strong of Shawnee, Okla. and Mrs. H. K. Shelton of Dallas, Texas; two sons, Clyde of Okmulgee, Okla. and L. G. of Tulsa; a stepson, Dr. Ed Shipman, of San Antonio, all of who were present for the funeral. The mourning of Mr. Murrell's going is not confined to his relatives but is shared by a large community of friends.
