Wayne City Farmer Dies In Accident
Meyers Dawson, 51 year-old Wayne City farmer and timber worker died in Memorial hospital at 2:25 p.m. Sunday from injuries suffered a day earlier in a tractor accident. Dawson was found by Kenneth Draper, who had been working in the timber southeast of Wayne City with him Saturday. The two had quit for lunch and when Draper returned, he missed Dawson but believed he had decided not to work Saturday afternoon.
Heard His Cries
Later, taking a search, he heard Dawson's cries and found him pinned beneath his tractor at the side of the road. Dawson completing his work in the timber had apparently started from the field drag to the road and his tractor overturned on a side fill and went down the embankment, pinning him underneath. He lay pined to the cold, damp ground for two and a half hours before being found. Draper summoned neighbors and the tractor was pulled off. Dawson was then rushed to Memorial hospital by Richardson ambulance and admitted for treatment.
Shock and Exposure
He was suffering from shock and exposure and his death has been laid to these causes by Coroner Robert McNeil, who conducted an inquiry into Dawson's death at Wayne City Monday afternoon (today). Mr. Dawson was born in Wayne County February 12th, 1913, the son of Oscar and Mae Meyers Dawson. He was married to Golda Atteberry, with three daughters born to this union. He was a member of the Olive Branch Baptist Church, where funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, with Rev. Ernie Tate and Rev. Alfred Haile officiating. Interment will be in the church cemetery. Friends may call at the Richardson Chapel after 6 p.m. Monday (today).
The Survivors
Surviving are the widow; three daughters, . . . ; four grandchldren; two half-brothers, Owen and . . . Whitson, both of Diamond, MO; three half sisters, Mildred Finey, of Johnsonville, . . . and Louella Anderson, of Phoenix, Arizona and his mother, Mrs. Mae Whitson, of Johnsonville.
