His obituary appeared in the March 30, 1996 edition of the Tulsa World under the headline "Sapulpa Attorney Jack Sellers Dies":

        Obituary: SAPULPA -- Prominent attorney Jack Sellers, who represented clients from farmers to alleged crime figures during a lengthy legal career, died Friday night at Bartlett Memorial Medical Center. He was 68.
        Sellers, who was admitted to the bar in 1951, was at the center of a string of high-profile cases, said his son, Jefferson D. Sellers. In December, the Oklahoma Trial Lawyers Association honored Jack Sellers with its lifetime achievement award.
        ``He was practicing law today,'' his son said Friday.
        Sellers defended reputed crime figure Albert McDonald in a series of cases involving murder charges and the August 1970 bombing of former District Judge Fred Nelson. McDonald eventually was convicted and was slain in prison.
        Sellers also drew national attention when he helped win a $50 million product-liability judgment for his clients against the John Deere farm implement company. In the suit, Sellers charged that John Deere combines caused a series of accidents in which farmers lost all or part of arms. The judgment was overturned on appeal.
        In 1992, Sellers filed two civil suits against the city of Tulsa on behalf of the families of three people killed during a 1990 police pursuit. The three were killed when the car they were in was struck by a stolen vehicle driven by 13-year-old Jermell Jordan. Jordan was later tried as an adult and convicted of second-degree murder. However, a federal judge dismissed the civil suits against the city.
        Several other members of the Sellers family also have distinguished themselves in the legal profession. Son Jefferson D. Sellers is district judge for Pawnee County, while daughter April Sellers White is associate district judge for Creek County.
        Jack's brother, W.C. ``Bill'' Sellers, is a longtime Sapulpa attorney.
        Services are pending through Smith Funeral Home in Drumright.

Note for: William Charles Sellers, 29 AUG 1930 - 5 JUL 1999 Index

Alias: /Bill/

Individual Note:
William Charles Sellers, Sr., youngest son of Davis Coin and Maude Dorcas (Muskrat) Sellers, graduated from Central State University as an Art major and the University of Oklahoma Law School. His obituary appeared in July 9, 1999 edition of the Tulsa World:

SELLERS, William Charles, Sr, died peacefully in his sleep in July 5, 1999. He was born August 19, 1930, the youngest of 7 children of Coin Sellers and Maud Elizabeth Muskrat Sellers of Drumright, OK, who preceded him in death. "Wild Bill", as he was popularly known around his native Creek County and the entire State of Oklahoma, is survived by: his brother, D.C. Sellers of Oklahoma City, 2 sisters, Miriam Sellers Lapham of Sapulpa, Janice Crouch of Tucson, AZ, a daughter, Janice Sellers Young of Tulsa, 2 sons, Lee Barton Sellers of Mannford, OK, William Charles Sellers, Jr., of Sapulpa; grandchildren, Matthew Young, Jessica Jari Saliba, Adam Lee Johnson and Joshua Kyle Self; many nieces, nephews and a plethora of children he "adopted" over the years. Three brothers, Hugh A. Sellers, James A. Sellers and Jack B. Sellers preceded him in death. After graduating from Central State University as an Art major and then the University of Oklahoma Law School, "Wild Bill" established himself as one of Oklahoma's most successful trial lawyers. He championed the people's right to fair treatment by the insurance industry by securing more important multi-million dollar judgments for his clients against corporations than any other trial lawyer in Oklahoma history. He truly believed that "faith can move mountains" and to his last breath spent the majority of his professional time helping ordinary people who seemed to have gotten chewed up by corporate greed or by political opportunism. He believed that ultimately the value of his life would be measured by the distance by which he moved society with his greatest social push. "Wild Bill" knew that the value of the individual person in America was the foundation upon which the United States was built and he fought every day to affirm that value. He knew that the "Bill of Rights" to the United States Constitution enumerated powers which were kept by the people and never given to the government and he struggled to make this simple truth known to all who would listen. He will be sorely missed, not just by his family, but by this community and his state. His home at 1200 E. Teresa, Sapulpa, OK bears an historical marker presented to him by the Bixby Historical Society and his friend, George Brown, who preceded him in death. The official State of Oklahoma Historical marker aptly reads: William C. "Bill" Sellers was born at Shamrock, Oklahoma on August 28, 1930. He is one of the children of Coin Sellers and Maude Muskrat Sellers. As an adult, he established a highly successful legal practice in Sapulpa, Oklahoma and was often referred to as "The Clarence Darrow of Creek County." In lieu of flowers the family has requested that a book be purchased for the Sapulpa City Library. A celebration of the life of W.C. "Bill" Sellers will be held on Saturday, July 10, 1999 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the banquet Hall of Freddie's Steak House, 1425 New Sapulpa Road in Sapulpa, OK. A private family funeral service will be held Tuesday, July 13, 1999, graveside at the South Drumright Cemetery, Drumright, OK. All arrangements are with the Owen Funeral Home in Sapulpa, OK, 224-2121.

Bill may have had a fourth marriage that was annulled.
