MOTHER AND SON DIE
AS RESULT OF ACCIDENT
Mrs. Fred HI. Nicholson and Son,
Dennis, Killed When Cookhouse
Is Blown Over on Their Bed
Were Well Known in
Pullman

A tragic accident occurred mean
Johnson last Thursday night which
cost the lives of Mrs. Leila L. Nichol-
son, wife of Fred II. Nicholson, and
her 13-year-old son, Dennis, former
residents of Pullman and well known
to many people of this community.
Mrs. Nicholson had been employed
as cook for the Avery McInturff
threshing crew, which was operating
five miles west of Johnson, and her
son was assisting her with her work
The mother and son were sleeping
in bed alongside the cook house,
which was blown over on them dur
ing the high wind of Thursday night.
The fatality was not discovered until
4 o'clock Friday morning, the crash
of the cookhouse having been
drowned by the noise of the wind.
DR.. j. l.. Harris was summoned from
Cotton as soon as the accident was
discovered but pronounced life ex-
tinct, both the mother and son prob
ably having been dead several
hours. The bodies were brought to
Pullman, where they were cared for
by Undertaken Irwin of Palouse, Mr..
Kimball having been out of the city
at the time.
No marks were found on either
of the bodies to indicate that death
had been instantaneous. 1t prob
ably resulted from internal injuries
or suffocation. An investigation
was conducted by Coroner L. L.
Bruning of Colfax, who pronounced
the deaths the result of unavoidable
accident.
Funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon from the Christian
church, with the Rev. C. n. Curtis,
of the Federated churches, in
charge. Members of the local Boy
Scout troops acted as pallbearers
Scores of friends attended the serv-
ices and the floral tributes were pro-
fuse and beautiful, attesting the high
esteem in which the mother and her
son were held. Interment was in
the City cemetery.
Leila l.. Grantham was born at
Ashgrove, Missouri, February %,
1884, being SO years of age at the
time of her untimely death. She
came west with her parents when
but two years old, the family locat-
ing near Johnson. On July 10, 1904,
