Carl W. Rivers

  Carl W. Rivers, age 26 years, was killed Wednesday afternoon,
Nov. 7, when a load of logs shifted on a truck bed, and crushed
him in a lumber yard at Zwolle.

  The deceased was employed by a Zwolle logging contractor. City
Marshall Quinton Brandon, who investigated, along with Deputy
Coroner, Dr. J. Lane Sauls, said Rivers loosened the binders of
the load, and two logs at the top rolled off, striking him on the
head.

  Funeral services were held Friday morning at 9 o'clock, at St.
Ann's Catholic Church at Ebarb, with the pastor, the Rev. William
Pierce, officiating. Burial was in St. Joseph's Cemetery in
Zwolle, under the direction of the Warren Funeral Home of Many.

  He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rivers of
Zwolle; four brothers, Ben, Johnny, Robert, and Kenneth Rivers,
all of Zwolle; eight sisters, Mrs. Hazel Taylor of Zwolle, Mrs.
