Dhelma Ray Phillips

  Funeral services for Dhelma Ray Phillips, 21, of Many, killed
instantly in a crash with two truck trailers Friday about 5:20
a.m., was held on Saturday, in the Calvary Baptist Church, with
the Rev. V. R. Miller, and the Rev. Elton Miller officiating.
Burial was in the Many Cemetery, under direction of Warren
Funeral Home of Many.

  According to state police, Phillips' car, traveling east on U.
S. Highway 190, three miles east of Ragley, sideswiped an
oncoming trailer truck, driven by Augustus Smith, 34, of New
Orleans.

  The contact apparently threw the car sideways across the
highway, where it was hit by another truck trailer driven by
Elijah Robert Bradley of Houston, Tex. Officers said the Phillips
car was so thoroughly damaged, it was difficult to determine the
make and model.

  The first truck, officers said, was owned by H. L. Herrin Jr. of
New Orleans, and was loaded with produce.

  Phillips is survived by his mother, Mrs. Jessie Phillips of
Many; his father, Jim Phillips of Zwolle; two brothers, Jimmy H.,
and Douglas A. Phillips, Many; and one sister, Mrs. Thelma Fay
Anthony, Florien.
