STONE, TILMON
(4 Apr 1929, Erick Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
TILMON STONE KILLED INSTANTLY BY TRACTOR
Last Friday word came to Erick that Tilman (sic) Stone had been crushed to
death by a Fordson tractor.  The accident occured on the A. G. Hamilton
farm near Sweetwater, Oklahoma.  It seems from reports that Mr. Stone was
driving up an incline and the plow got hung on a root, the tractor raising
up and fallowing over backwards crushing him to death instantly.
Tilmon Stone was born in Prescott, Arkansas, October 2nd, 1885.  He joined
the Baptist church at Buffalo about 25 years ago.  He was married to Miss
Mary Bradley, December 16th, 1906.  To this union 4 children were born;
one preceding him in death.  He departed this life March 29th, 1929, age
43 years, 5 months and 28 days.  (Buried Buffalo Cemetery).
He leaves to mourn his departure, wife, three children and a host of
friends and relatives who have our sympathy in this sad hour.
Mr. Stone was well known in this vicinity having been among the first to
settle in the Buffalo community, where he was recognized as one of the
leading farmers of that section and was often seen on our streets with his
farm products.
