Tulsa Woman Dies on NY Visit With Office Husband
A visit to New York City to see her lieutenant colonel husband for the first time in 14 months, Wednesday, resulted in death for Mrs. Neta King Beckett 27-year-old Tulsa mother, who succumbed to meningitis before her husband's leave was up.
Mrs. Beckett lived at 1239 S. Atlanta Ave and was the mother of a nine-month-old baby, Neta Jo Beckett. The body was being returned to Tahlequah for services at the First Methocist Church at 2:30 pm Sunday.
...She leaves the widower, Lt. Col. Thomas P. Beckett of the Army Air Corps; the daughter; her mother, Mrs. David King of Tahlequah; six sisters, Mrs. Joseph Fulcher, 3621 S. Yorktown Ave; Mrs. Jack Kisner, New Braunfels, Texas; Mrs. Herbert Bice, Tahlequah, and Mrs. Harvey Trevillian, Mrs. Arthur David, and Mrs. Harry Peeler, all of New York City; and two brothers, Lester King, Oklahoma City, and John King, overseas with the Seabees.
