DONALD JAMES MARCUM, age 90, was born in Cement, OK to James Percy and Annie Opal Marcum on October 7, 1928.  Since the 1938 purchase of the quarter section he resided on for the last 45 years, he has been a resident of either Indiahoma or Lawton.  Don passed on to his eternal reward with God on Friday, May 17, 2019.  He fought a courageous battle against Alzheimer's for the last several years.  Don or D.J. was a successful rancher and business man throughout his entire life.  His integrity was never brought into question.  More important than any of his physical achievements was his dedication to family and the Lord's church.  He was an apt teacher of God's Word and focused most of his life on spiritual matters of the Kingdom of God.

In 1946 he married Ruby Mae Singleton.  She passed from this life in January of 1977 after a long struggle against cancer.  Later in 1977 he married Corine Alice McKinney and they lived together until her death in 2017.
