W. Tipton, living south of Texola, met instant death, when he was run over by a trailer loaded with cotton and attached to his father's car. The little fellow had desired to accompany his father to the gin, and had climbed upon the rear of his father's car, who did not know the boy was there. A short distance from their home the boy fell from the car and the trailer wheels passed over his head crushing his skull. The funeral services were held at the Texola Baptist church Sunday evening at 4:00 p.m. - D. G. Fatheree in charge. (Texola Cemetery, Texola, Beckham County, Okla: Vennet Tipton, born 10 Aug 1926; died 19 Oct 1929.) --------------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ok/beckham/beckham.htm
