PEASE, LAWRENCE
(6 Nov 1924, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
SON OF F. M. PEASE KILLED AT HOLLIS LAST THURSDAY.
Lawrence, the nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Pease, of Hollis,
was riding a pony with another school mate last Thursday afternoon when it
shied, throwing Lawrence under the pony.  No one knows just what happened
then, whether the pony kicked him in head, or the fall injured him but he
was hurt so seriously that he died in a few seconds.
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at Hollis (Harmon County). 
Those attending from Elk City were Mr. and Mrs. Amos Williams, Mrs. Sam
Williams and Mrs. Sam Crabtree and daughter, Bethel.  They said the
Baptist church was filled to overflowing with sympathizing friends, school
being dismissed and the scholars attended in a body.  There were banks of
flowers.
Mr. and Mrs. Pease formerly lived in Elk City and have many friends here
who extend their deepest sympathy to them.
