KRING, LESLIE "DICK"
(2 Mar 1928, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Leslie (Dick) Kring, a former Carter young man, died on Wednesday of last
week at Amarillo, Texas, as the result of an accident that happened to him
just one week prior to his death.
Dick was washing out some of his clothing in a vessel of gasoline a few
feet away from a fire when the gasoline caught on fire and burned him so
badly that he only lived one week.
Dick was well known to the Carter people and his many friends throughout
this part of the country were severely shocked when they learned of the
terrible accident.
Roy Cartmill and wife of Carter went out to see him before he died and
remained out there till after the funeral.
He left a young wife, father and other relatives, to mourn his death.
