The Dothan Eagle, Monday Afternoon, July 2, 1956

	William Isaac (Ikey) Hollis, 20, of Brannon Stand, was injured
fatally yesterday when the car he was driving failed to make a curve 15
miles from Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and plunged into a river.
	A graduate of Dothan High School and a junior at the University of
Alabama, young Hollis was employed by the aluminum plant at Alcoa near
Maryville about three weeks ago.
	Tennessee Rangers found the vehicle in the Little Pigeon River,
Hollis's body still in it.  Riding with him was Henry G. Satterwhite, 22, of
Atlanta.  He was injured and considered in fair condition.  Rangers found
him by the roadside.
	A coroner at Sevierville said Hollis apparently died before the car
hit the river.  The car and body were both under water when discovered.
	The accident occurred in the Great Smokey Mountain Park area.
	Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the Dothan
First Methodist Church.  Burial will be in the family plot at Pilgrim Rest
Cemetery near Jellico, Ward-Wilson directing.  Officiating will be the Rev.
David Jones, the Rev. Mack Hutson, Dr. Wilbur Walon and Dr. Allen Smith.
The body will lie in state at the residence.
	A member of the 1954 class at Dothan High School, young Hollis was
in the Honor Society, a member of the band three years and served as class
representative on the Student Council three years.  At the University, he
was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity.
	He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hollis; a
brother, Stedman Hollis; paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Hollis,
all of Brannon Stand; and maternal grandmother, Mrs. J. W. Snell of Dothan.
	Active pallbearers will be Jim Loftin, Jimmy Howell, W. D. Malone,
Jr., Dickie Ramsey, Pat Bishop, Paul Dobbs, and Ben Chalker.
(Parents:  Clarence Edward and Ganey Driggers Hollis.)
