Oklahoma City, May 14 -- Dr. John Threadgill, well-known in financial, political and old war veteran circles in Oklahoma, died here Friday afternoon, heart failure being the immediate cause of his death. Doctor Threadgill came to Oklahoma from Taylor, Texas, in 1895 and located at Norman, where he established a sanitarium, having a contract with the state to care for the insane wards of the state. In 1901 he moved to Oklahoma City and became owner of the Threadgill Hotel, for years the most prominent hotel in Oklahoma. He has not practiced medicine since coming to Oklahoma City. Dr. Threadgill was born in Wadesboro, N.C., and while a beardless youth entered the Confederate Army, serving under General Robert E. Lee and later under General Early. He was wounded at Cedar Creek and later was taken as a prisoner of war in front of Petersburg and sent to Hart island where he was held until the war closed. Although raised in the south, surrounded by Democratic influences, Doctor Threadgill has always been a stalwart Republican. Doctor Threadgill was one of the most ardent supporters in the last legislature of the pension bill for the war veterans.
