(Cedartown Standard, Thursday, May 8, 1919) 
A terrible accident occurred Tuesday morning on the Cave Spring road, and as a 
result one of the brightest young boys of this section lost his life. Henry and 
E. R., the young sons of Mr. J. S. King, were coming into town to school in his 
Ford car, and as was their habit, stopped on their way at the home of Mr. J. F. 
Lyon for his thirteen-year-old son; Douglas. It had rained during the night and 
the road was slippery, and in some way Henry lost control of the car. It turned 
on its side so hard that it bounced back again. The King boys escaped with 
slight injuries, but young Lyon was hurt so badly that he died in a few hours 
in spite of the fact that he received prompt surgical attention. Douglas Lyon 
was a pupil in the 6th grade in our city public schools and was one of its best 
and most promising members. The heart-broken parents have the utmost sympathy 
of their many friends in their sad and sudden loss. (Cedartown Standard,
