Miss Daisy Claire McCormick

  Funeral services for Miss Daisy Claire McCormick, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. F. P. McCormick of Zwolle, were held Monday, Nov.
10, at 10 a.m., at the First Baptist Church in Zwolle. The
pastor, the Rev. M. L. Boland, officiated, assisted by the Rev.
Wm. T. Hall Jr., pastor of the Zwolle First Methodist Church, and
the Rev. Walter S. Haley, pastor of the Dawndale Baptist Church
in Beaumont, Tex.

  Miss McCormick, popular and talented 17 year old Zwolle High
School senior, was killed instantly Saturday, at 11:00 p.m., in
an automobile accident, which occurred on the new Grand Ecore
bridge over Red River near Natchitoches.

  An estimated one thousand people attended the funeral of the
beautiful and beloved teenage girl, who, in the words of her
pastor, "meant so much to so many!"

  Daisy Claire, a descendant of one of the most prominent and
respected pioneer families of Sabine Parish, was a member of the
Zwolle First Baptist Church. She did solo work with choir, and
took an active part in the work of other organizations of the
church. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. P.
McCormick of Zwolle; her grandmother, Mrs. W. F. Haley of
Belmont; and a host of other relatives and friends.

  Pallbearers were Tommy Graves, Johnny Maddox, Kenneth Wright,
Kenneth Earl Leone, Marion Thames, Jerry Scarber, Ronald Hough,
and Clyde Guilry.

  Interment was in the Zwolle Cemetery, under the direction of the
Warren Funeral Home of Many.
