Services Conducted For Goshen Farmer
Funeral service was conducted at 3 p.m. Sunday for Lawson Royce Langham, 36-year-old Goshen farmer, who died at his home late Saturday of a gunshot wound that investigating officers said was self inflicted. Service was held at the Goshen Methodist church by Rev. Floyd Villines, Jr. Arrangements were in charge of the Moore Funeral home of Fayetteville.
He is survived by the widow; by six children, Robert, William, Martha, Doris, Genevieve and Ruby, all of the home; six brothers, Garland, Amsie, William and Carl, all of Goshen, Walter Langham of Randolph Field, Tex., and Arthur of Huntington Beach, Calif.; and two sisters, Mrs. Lillian Johnson of Habberton, Ark., and Mrs. Edna Wilson, Portersville, Calif.
Sheriff Arthur Davidson, carrying the extra duty of coroner, investigated the death, along with Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Price Dickson and Justice of the Peace Robert Jackson. After an inquest Saturday night, they declared that Langham died of a bullet wound, "self-inflicted with a .22 calibre rifle."
