Victim of Shot From Rifle Buried At Pleasant Hill

Huey Thomas Crawford, 11 years of age, who died at a hospital in Shreveport,
Monday, from a wound caused by a bullet from a 22 rifle, a gift to one of his
playmates, was buried at the Pleasant Hill Cemetery near Winnfield Tuesday
afternoon.

The boy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Crawford, now residents of East Point,
formerly lived in Winnfield where Mr. Crawford was employed by the Tremont and
Gulf Railway Company.

The boy slumped and fell from a new red bicycle he had just received for
Christmas when his playmate's small rifle, also a present, accidentally
discharged.  He was rushed to a Shreveport hospital where he died several
hours later.

Besides his parents, the child is survived by one brother, H. M.; three
sisters, Mrs. H. L. Prescott of Shreveport, Mrs. J. C. Harvey and Mrs. Ada May
Peters, of East Point.
