Duntley Death Was Accidental

The death of Lawrence Rawley Duntley, 63, a member of a pioneer ranching family in the Antelope Valley, was listed as accidental by Kern County Coroner Stanley A. Newman.
Duntley had last been seen about 3 p.m. on Feb. 4 and was reported missing at 10:30 p.m. Friday night. Duntley was employed on the Jameson Ranch near Monolith for the past several years, but had left to scatter protein range blocks on the Berhard Sasia ranch. A search party found his body pinned beneath the pickup truck he had been driving about 11:45 p.m. Friday night. His dog, Zeke, was still on guard beside the body after more than a 30-hour vigil. Investigators theorized that Duntley had set the hand brake on the vehicle and was at the rear of the truck, when. for some reason the brake failed and pinned him against a bank, under the truck.
Duntley is survived by his wife Jean, and one son, Rawley, who attends Rosamond High School; also surviving are two sisters, Marjorie and Myrtle, both of whom still live in the Antelope Valley.
He was the only son of Rawley Duntley, who homesteaded a large ranch in Oak Creek Canyon near the turn of the century.

Correction

An omission occurred in the reporting of the accidental death last week of Mr. Lawrence Duntley. Only one son was reported as a survivor and his name was incorrect.
Mr. Duntley is survived by three sons, Ronnie, Quartz Hill; Rawley, Tehachapi; and Glenn, Rosamond; also one daughter, Mrs. Judy Shelton of Fallon, Nevada.
Our apologies to the family for the incorrect reporting.
