ATTORNEY - LEADER DIES

Attorney Primus Wade leaves a hard-tofill spot in our profession. He was indeed a credit to his profession, his race, his family and his death is a great loss to Tulsa. The association will miss the dedication and enthusiasm which he brought to his work on the innumerable civic and charitable activities in which he participated or directed, All the members of the Tulsa County Bar Association extend their sympathy to the Primus Wade family for the loss of this fine gentleman and brother attorney.
