Former Republican Governor and U. S. Senator Henry Bellmon, 88, died about 8 a.m. this morning, numerous Republican sources report.

Democratic Leader Danny Morgan, D-Prague, said, “Oklahoma lost an icon today with the passing of former governor and United States Senator Henry Bellmon. He was a true statesman, and his legacy will be felt for years to come. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.”
