Disaster struck the Jenks home of Mr. and Mrs. Laverne C. Albin a staggering blow Monday afternoon when one of their four children was accidentally shot and killed by an older brother.
John Russell (Johnny) Albin, 4, was the victim. He was shot by Richard Albin, 5, while the two youngsters were playing with their father's shotgun in a bedroom of the Albin home, 704 E. Karma Street.
Tulsa County Investigator W. A. Lang ruled the shooting was accidental. Sheriff's Deputies Paul Allton and Leonard Coulter, who investigated for the sheriff's office, said the shot struck Johnny in the chest and emerged from his back.
Allton and Coulter said the boys were playing in the bedroom while the Albin maid, Mittie Brown, was in the living room of the home. They were told the maid heard the shot, about 1:15 p.m., ran into the bedroom and found the younger boy lying on the floor near a bed. He was already dead.
The frightened older boy, officers were told, was found crouching in a clothes closet where the gun had been kept.
The father is an employee of the McMichael Concrete Co. in Tulsa and the mother is a student, attending Tulsa Business College.
Albin told investigating officers he had not used the gun for some time and was not aware that it was loaded.
The tot, born at Guthrie on Feb. 24, 1954, is survived by another brother, Charles, and a sister, Denise, who were in school at the time of the tragedy. The grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charley McDonald of Tulsa and Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Alba, Guthrie, also survive.

ROBERT M. ALEXANDER, Church of Christ minister, was killed in an auto accident last Monday evening. Kathey Schopp. of St. Louis, Mo., was injured while driving the other car in the two-car collision.
The accident occurred at 5:45 p.m. on the Tulsa-Okmulgee Beeline at the Sapulpa Road. Trooper Oard, of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, who investigated the accident, said this was the first Tulsa County traffic fatality of 1969. He said the 1962 blue Cadillac, driven by Bro. Alexander, was headed east. He first stopped at the stop sign and then proceeded to cross the Beeline when the collision occurred. The other car, a 1969 Dodge, driven by Mrs. Schopp, was headed south. Both cars were declared total wrecks. Trooper Oard said a sad coincidence is that Mrs. Schopp's husband was killed in an auto accident near the same spot some five months ago.
Mrs. Schopp was taken to St. Francis Hospital to be treated for fractures in both legs. Bro. Alexander was taken to the same hospital where he died at 9:05 p.m., just over three hours from the time of the accident.
Trooper Oard said no charges have been filed.
Bro. Alexander was born March 5, 1894, near Paducah, Ky. He attended school at Bowling Green, Ky., and obtained his masters degree at the University of Oklahoma. At the age of nineteen, he began preaching, a ministry which continued more than half a century. Mininstries included Greenville, Colorado City and Abilene, Tex.; Nashville, Tenn.; Dearborn, Mich.; and Hobart, Chickasha, Wewoka, Oklahoma City, Purcell, Tulsa and Jenks, Oklahoma.
During his many years of ministrty, Bro. Alexander was equally well known and active as a college professor. He taught at Cordell Christian College, Cordell, David Limpscomb College, Nashville, Tenn. and Abilene Christian College, Abilene, Tex. His former students are numerous, serving all over the country and some in the Tulsa area.
Three years ago, Bro. Alexander came to serve the Church of Christ in Jenks, which was holding services in an old two-story residence building on East Main Street. Under his leadership and experience, the congregation realized the fulfillment of a dream held for many years, and now a new, beautiful building stands on West Main Street, a tribute to the leadersihip of a man and to the faith and determination of a congregation. One of his great pleasures was the knowledge that the congregation had grown and prospered during these three years.
It was only two months ago that Bro. Alexander and his wife, the former Roberta May White, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. At that time, they held open house and many of their friends visited them to pay respects.
Besides his wife, survivors include two daughters, Mrs. Ellis (Emalene) Clanton, of Tulsa, and Mrs. Charles Preston, of Tyler, Tex.; three brothers, Vernon Alan Alexander of Dallas, Tex., Vaniah Alexander, Memphis, Tenn., and Leslie Alexander, Padukah, Ky.; and six grandchildren.
Service was held at 2:30 p.m. this Thursday,at the Park Plaza Church of Christ, in Tulsa. Wayman Miller and Ronald Melton presided. Interment was at Floral Haven Cemetery.
