Derryberry, who live four miles north of Eakly, was found dead in the pasture about 200 yards north of the home at 1:30 a.m. to drive in the horses. As was his custom he took with him his single-barrel 12-gauge shotgun. When he had not returned by noon, the family became concerned and another son, Neal Wayne, 14, was sent to the pasture to look for Fred. Neal Wayne did not find his brother and the father went in search for him, first going to the home of John Lee, a neighbor. Lee said he could see Derryberry's horses in the pasture but he had not seen Fred. Derryberry left his pickup at Lee's and cut thru the pasture. He said he had decided to return to the house and get other members of the family to assist in the search when he found the body. The father said Fred was lying on his left hip as if he had fallen backward. The gun was lying across his right arm and the shot had entered his head below the right ear.
