Walter Riley "Red" Rawson, 66, was born in Garvin County, October 17, 1919, and died in OKC, a victim of an apparent robbery-homicide.

He spent his childhood in Garvin County, and served in the 8th Air Corps during WWII, taking his training in Boise City ID, and later was transferred to Alconbury AFB, Huntingdon Shire, London, England.

After the war, he moved to OKC, and established the Red Rawson Auto Sales at 25th & S. Agnew, that he operated for 25 years.

He moved with his family to Dibble OK in 1962, and operated a farm until 1971, until his health prompted him to move back to OKC, where he operated his present car lot at 516 S. Walker.

He was preceded in death by an infant son, Douglas Leon Rawson, who was buried in England, also his father and mother, Stonewall Jackson Rawson and Margaret Jane Rawson, and 2 sisters, Lona Mae Newberry and Floy Lee Mayfield.
