Odis Miller

  A two car collision on the new Grand Ecore bridge over the Red
River near Natchitoches Saturday night, was fatal to Miss Daisy
Claire McCormick, popular young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. P.
McCormick of Zwolle.

  A3/C Charles H. Maxey was driving the car when the accident
occurred, said deputies from the office of Sheriff Earl Morris
and state police, who investigated the accident.

  Miss McCormick and Maxey were traveling west toward
Natchitoches, and Cox and the Millers were traveling east toward
Clarence, when the two cars collided near the east end of the
bridge.

  The officers said Maxey was driving one, but they were unable to
determine who was driving the east bound car. Officers have not
learned the cause of the collision.

  Edward B. Cox of Natchitoches, and Odis Miller of Robeline died
of injuries received in the accident.

  The injured were Charles G. Miller of Natchitoches, and A3/C
Charles H. Maxey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Maxey.

  Maxey was home on leave from Malstrom Air Force Base in Montana,
and was treated at a local hospital, and transferred to the
Barksdale Air Force Base Hospital near Bossier City, where he is
reported "doing well".

  Funeral services for Miss McCormick were held at 10 a.m.,
Monday, at the Zwolle Baptist Church, with the Rev. M. L. Boland
officiating.

  Survivors include her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. P. McCormick; and
her grandmother, Mrs. Lula Haley.
