WILLIAMSON, Walter Eugene Jan. 19, 1875
Aug. 17, 1914
Barry Co., MO
SSW: Lavancha - Research Note: He was a son of Ealson and Lustea Williamson. According to the newspaper, his death was from injuries that were caused by a wagon overturning and falling on him. - Cassville Republican, August 20, 1914 - #1. Walter Williamson Killed: Walter Williamson who lived near Mano was killed late Monday evening by a horse falling on him while attempting to drive a team to a wagon up a steep hill near his home. Walter was on his way home from Cassville and had almost reached the top of a long steep hill when the horrible accident occurred. One of his horses is said to be balky and at times hard to control. It is believed the horse refused to work and caused an entanglement that resulted in the wagon being found completely upset, the horses down on the ground and Walter lying dead under one of them. We have so far been unable to learn the particulars as to how such an accident could have occurred. Mr. Williamson's ten year old son was with him at that time. Mrs. Williamson sent the little boy with a horse to meet his father and assist him up the hill. But for some reason the extra horse was not placed in use as only the team was found hitched to the wagon. The little boy conveyed the sad news to his mother and neighbors who were soon at the horrible scene. We understand Mrs. Williamson's body was found badly crushed. The news of his sudden and untimely death was severe shock to this family, father, brothers and neighbors. Walter was about 38 years of age and was one of the most highly respected of men. He was an excellent Christian gentlemen, a good neighbor and an upright citizen in every respect. He leaves to mourn his departure a wife, and eight children, an aged father, E. Williamson of this city, and two brothers, Troy of near town, Fred of Selbert, Colo. The family and immediate relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the public. As we go to press we were unable to learn the funeral arrangements. #2. Rock Creek News: A sad accident happened Monday on Rock Creek when Walter Williamson was returning from Cassville. About one-half mile from Dave Gautney's his team became unmanageable on the hillside turning the wagon over. Walter fell under the wagon tongue and both horses fell on him breaking his neck and one shoulder and caved in his breast. His little boy was with him. Mr. Gautney was the first one to reach him and one horse was still living on the body when he arrived. Walter was one of our very best citizens and a Christian man. In losing him we lose one of our best citizens and neighbors and the family of a kind and loving companion and father. May each and every one of his family be prepared to go when the Lord calls them as Walter was and be one unbroken family around the great white throne of God is the prayer of a friend and neighbor. The bereaved ones have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. Headstone
