Field Shocked and Grieved By Death of John Denny, Sr.
Word of John Denny, Sr.'s death Monday shocked and grieved this community. The Denny family had lived in Lance Creek a good many years and three of the children, John, Bill, and Eleanore Ann, were educated in the local schools.
Mr. Denny came to Lance Creek in 1935 from Ft. Collins, as a driller for Continental Oil company. A few years later he was made drilling foreman. About 1942 he became field superintendent for the Lance Creek field. Mr. and Mrs. Denny moved to Casper in 1950 when he was promoted to drilling superintendent of the Rocky Mountain district of Continental. They bought a home in Casper and were living there at the time of Mr. Denny's retirement July 1, 1952. After his retirement, he became district superintendent with the Crusader Oil company for whom Mr. Denny was taking care of business when he was stricken and died in Lusk.
The Denny family's many friends in this community extend sincere sympathy to the deceased's family.
