Arlie L. Lawson, Sr. died peacefully at home on Sunday, January 9, 2005 after a 
long illness. He was a native of Oklahoma, born on September 9, 1921, and 
raised in rural Talihina. He was a resident of Farmington since 1965.
He served as a Medic in the Army Corps in World War II. After leaving Oklahoma 
in 1951, he worked at Consolidated Aircraft and the San Diego Zoo for several 
years, and later at Calaveras Cement in San Andreas and Cozad Trailers in

He also raised beef cattle and loved everything outdoors, including gardening 
and in his earlier years, hunting. He was a devoted horseman who enjoyed roping 
calves as a hobby, and in the late '50's was a charter member of the Calaveras 
Horsemen's Association. In the early '70's he was a partner in providing horse 
and mule drawn sleigh rides in Bear Valley on weekends, and was a horse and 
buggy enthusiast also. In '73 he took a month off from work to ride 400 miles 
of the Pacific Crest Trail with a friend and son Bob.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Jo; sons Richard, Arlie Jr. and 
Robert; daughter Julie Centeno and her husband Hector. He is also survived by
