EATON, Lawrence
Keowee Courier March 17, 1949 Wreck Fatal To Lawrence Eaton Here 
Lawrence Eaton, 63-year-old Walhalla taxi operator and carpenter, 
succumbed Wednesday morning at 1 o'clock in Oconee Memorial hospital 
after his automobile apparently went out of control and overturned 
several times near benezer on the West Union-Pickens highway early 
Tuesday night. It was reported at the hospital that examining 
physicians were of the opinion that Mr. Eaton apparently suffered a 
stroke of heart attack while driving, and then lost control of the 
vehicle. Police Chief Jay Massey who rushed to the scene said the 
overturned auto, a 1940-model Plymouth, was found by James McCall. Mr.
McCall stopped and inspected the wreck and found Mr. Eaton pinned 
under the car. Finding he was unable to get him out alone, he came to 
Walhalla and got aid from local police. Chief Massey said tire tracks 
showed the auto was headed toward Ebenezer when the tragedy occurred. 
Mr. Eaton was widely known in Walhalla, both as a taxi operator and 
carpenter. He is survived by his wife. Contributed by:
