The following newspaper article was transcribed by Susan Cearlock Tilleman

The copy was apparently printed from microfilm, with some spellings difficult to
decipher.

"Everton Man Killed
Frank Carlock, for years a prominant business man at Everton, Mo., was shot and killed by
William 'Billy' Schmulbach, veteran merchant policeman of Picher, Okla., as
Carlock stepped out of his drug store at Picher, Saturday morning.
Mr. Carlock for several years had been in business at Picher after selling out his
interests at Everton, but his family still lives in the Dade county town, and he is widely
known there.
No motive for the shooting at Pitcher [sic] was apparent. Spectators said no quarrel
preceded it. Schmulcach [sic], who fired the fatal shot, has been tried twice for murder
in Ottawa county, Okla., and was acquitted both times.
Mr. Carlock was about 50 years old. He was born and reared in the neighborhood of Everton
and brought up his children there. His wife and mother, Mrs. Frances Carlock, live in
Everton now.
He is survived by four children, Mrs. Frances Adamson, of Everton; Mrs. Marjorie Adamson,
of Miller; Tarrant Carlock whose home is in Everton but who now is believed to be working
upon a construction project near Lebanon, and a younger son, Frank, Jr., who is in school
at Marshall, Mo. A brother, Henry Carlock, also lives in Everton."
