  19 Dec 1990 - Friends and family of 17 year old Stafford Allen
Miller, a senior at Negreet High School, paid their final
respects to the young man during funeral services at the Antioch
Baptist Church Monday, December 17 at 2 p.m.

  Miller was killed Saturday night, December 15 in a one-vehicle
accident on Hwy 474 near Negreet.

  According to reports from Louisiana State Policeman James Napier
and Lee Raymond Isgitt, Miller was traveling south on Hwy 476
when he crossed the center lane and struck two trees in his 1989
Isuzu pickup.

  The vehicle traveled another 39 feet before coming to rest in
the northbound lane of Hwy 476.

  The Jaws of Life were used to free young Miller from the
wreckage. He was killed instantly.

  Miller was by himself in the vehicle.

  The Revs. Jimmie Evans and Bill Murphy conducted the service
with burial following in the Antioch Cemetery, under the
direction of the Warren Meadows Funeral Home.

  Pallbearers were his friends, Truman Dees, Brian Guay, Tony
McComic, Buddy Veulamen, Clint Branam, Clint Corley, Cass Fazzio
and Roger Savell.

was known as "Bubba". He was active in the Negreet Chapter of the
Future Farmers of America, where he was serving as reporter. He
had been a member of several judging teams over the years,
including the livestock Judging Team.

  During his freshman year he was a member of the NHS basketball
team. More recently, he spent his spare time hunting, fishing,
