Child Killed by Truck; Funeral Held Yesterday
	Funeral services for little William David Walker, three year old son of 
Mr. and Mrs. Isbon Walker, were held yesterday at Nashville Baptist Church.
	The child was killed instantly Monday night at about 6:30 when he was 
run over by a dump truck in the front of his home here.  His grandfather, W.T. 
Hunt had driven the truck into the yard, and a co-worker, Ed Greene, slipped 
under the steering wheel to move the truck from the yard.  The child, unnoticed 
by both men, ran out to meet Mr. Hunt and was knocked down by the truck, which 
ran over his head.
	The boy was born in Lowndes County, January 23, 1947.  He is survived by 
his parents; one brother, Daniel Walker; his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W.T. 
Hunt and E.B. Walker; his great grandparents, Mrs. W.J. Clements and Ms. Lennie 
Walker; and several aunts and uncles.
	With Lovein Funeral Home in charge of arrangements, the Rev. O.E. Graves 
officiated at the final rites yesterday at 3 p.m.  “How Beautiful Heaven Must 
Be” was rendered by Mrs. T.C. Perkins, Mrs. Carl Wilkerson, Roy Davis, and Edgar 
Griffin.  Mrs. Jack Dix was at the organ.
	Employees of the South Georgia Ice Company, where the child’s father is 
employed, served as pallbearers.  They were:  Henry Bailey, Gerald Hughes, 
Wallace Gaskins, Hardy Giddens, Billy O’Quinn, and Edward Stallings.
