Headline:  Carl Cruse of Olla is Killed in Truck Wreck Saturday

Carl Cruse, of Olla and Little Chickasaw community, was instantly killed last 
Saturday morning at about eleven o'clock when a lumber truck he was driving 
blew out a front tire and turned over pinning him under the load.  The 
accident happened about one mile south of Kelly on the Monroe-Alexandria 
highway.  One of his brothers who was riding with him escaped with only a few 
minor bruises by jumping clear of the machine just before it turned over.

Mr. Cruse was 23 years of age, single, and lived at home with his parents, 
and five brothers.  He was the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Millard Cruse and 
also the oldest of fifteen grandchildren and the only one to be called by the 
angel of Death.

Funeral services were held Sunday a The Little Chickasaw Church by Rev. Henry 
Hopkins who is the pastor there.
