Thurman COWDREY Meets Tragic Death Fell From Scaffold While Wiring Building To Concrete Floor And Sustained Injuries Which Resulted In His Death Kirby Thurman COWDREY d. October 03, 1925, Burbank, OK On last Saturday morning about nine o'clock while wiring a building in Burbank, Okla. Thurman COWDREY fell from the scaffolding to the concrete floor, a distance of about seven feet and sustained injuries from which he died about one o'clock that afternoon. He was conscious for a few minutes after he was picked up, but soon sank into unconscioussness, and was rushed to the hospital at Fairfax, a few miles away where everything that human skill could do, was done, to stay the hand of death, but to no avail - death relieved him of his suffering about the hour named above. As to what caused him to all, is only conjecture. We understand that he had been suffering, at intervals, for a few days with indigestion pains under the heart, and it is thought he might have suffered an attack of those pains which stunned him for a minute, and he lost his balance and fell to the floor. His parents, Mr. And Mrs. J. A. COWDREY, and his brothers, Cam and Allen, and his sister, Miss Eva, of this place were notified at once of the tragedy, and only those who have received such notices can realize the heartache it caused - for a time, life to them was as dark as midnight - there was no ray of light or hope. In an instant death had entered two homes. In the far away town in Okalahoma his companion was left a widow; his three little daughters were made fatherless. In his parents home in Yellville there was a vacancy that never can be filled. Mrs. Clarence HIGHT, Mrs COWDREY'S sister, and her husband in Fayettville were notified of the death, and they wired relatives here that they were leaving at once by auto for Burbank. They arrived there early Sunday morning. The Masonic fraternity in Burbank, of which Mr. COWDREY was a member, took charge of the body and had it propared for burial, and looked after the funeral arrangements. Early Sunday morning the body was conveyed to the church in Burbank, where a short Masonic and religious service was held, after which the body was conveyed to the railway station and put aboard the train in charge of H.G. GOAD , a brother Mason and friend of Mr. COWDREY, and the journey to Yellville, his old home town, wasbegun. It arrived here on the 1:20 train, Monday. Mrs. COWDREY and her three daughters, Janice, Kathleen, and Billy, accompanied by Troy COWDREY, Thurman's brother and his family, Mr. And Mrs. T. J. PINKSTON Lucian Layton, Miss Ethel GOLDSBY, all of Burbank, and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence HIGHT of Fayettville, came through in autos, arriving here about four o'clock Monday afternoon. A committee appointed by the Master of the Masonic lodge in Yellville, met the train at Zinc and accompanied the body t the station at Yellville where a large delegation of Thurmans's friends and friends of the family met them. The body was taken to the home of his father where it laid in state until 2:30 Tuesday evening when a short funeral service conducted by the Reverends YATES and PEPPERS, was conducted at the home, after which the Masonic order took charge of the body and it was conveyed to the Layton cemetery where it was laid to rest with Masonic honors in the presence of a host of sorrowing friends and relatives. In his Death we are reminded of the fact that life is filled with tragedies, and that no one knows when the had of death will be laid upon them.. Thurman was born and reared in Yellville, and received his education in the public and high school in this town. In 1912 he was married to Miss Alsie BERRY, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. BERRY of this town. They had known each other from infancy. To this union three children were born, Janice, Kathleen and Billy. Several years ago they moved to Oklahoma where Mr. COWDREY was engaged in the telephone business and at the time of his death he owned the Burbank telephone exchange and was getting along nicely, and making plans for the future, but "the loved and loving son, brother, husband, father, and friend, met heath where manhood's morning almost touched noon, and while the shadows still were falling toward the west, " for he was only in his thirty-eighth year. The Echo joins the many friends of the family in extending to them heart-felt sympathies in the great sorrow. The large funeral procession that followed the remains of Thurman COWDREY so the cemetery on last Tuesday and the large and beautiful floral offering testified to the high esteem in which he was held by his hundreds of friends in his native town. As an evidence of his true worth in Burbank, his adopted home, the public schools were dismissed at noon Tuesday, and remained closed for the remainder of the day. Quite a number of Masons from Cotter and Mountain Home attended and participated in the funeral services of Thurman COWDREY Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Ben ESTES of Harrison attended the funeral of Thurman COWDREY, their grandson in Yellville last Tuesday.
