The Oblong Oracle (Oblong, IL), 30 May 1924:
Albert Ricer [brother of Lucy Ellen Ricer], son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Ricer, was born near Woodfield, Ohio, June 7, 1886, and was instantly killed on the Woods farm four miles from Oblong, Ill., May 14, 1924, being at the time of his death 37 years, 11 months and 7 days of age. About eight years ago he entered the service of the Ohio Oil Co. and worked in the oil field. He was [working for] this company when he was killed.
At the time of the accident he was engaged in pulling the tubing from a well. He had just cut off a 6ft section of the anchor and found it plugged with sand. While drying this section over a fire in order to remove the sand, a tremendous explosion occurred. The exact cause of this is not known but it is supposed that part of the glycerine with which the well was shot was driven into the sand. His two youngest boys were with him at the time of the accident and were burned about the face and hands.
He was united in marriage to Elizabeth Harmon June 8, 1907. To this union four children were born as follows: Chas. F., Elmer F., Denzil R. and Helen Marie.
Besides his own family he leaves to mourn thier loss, father and mother, three brothers, George, Frank and Lewis, and five sisters, MRS. FRANK NALLEY and Mrs. Roy Shepherd of Cambridge, Ohio, Mrs. Cloyd Beabout, of Beallsville, Ohio, Mrs. Samuel Rohrback of Ozark, Ohio, and Mrs. M. A. Covert, of near Woodsfield, Ohio.
Funeral services were conducted at the Church of Christ at Plainview Saturday, May 17th by elder D. W. Harkins and representatives from Oblong and Woodsfield Lodge of I.O.O.F.
