Wreck Fatal To Winnfield Youth Sunday

Michael Cloie Frazier, 18 year old Northwestern State College student from
Winnfield, was killed instantly and a Texas truck driver was hurt in a head-on
collision early Sunday, October 8, near the Armistead community on La. Hwy. 1.

State police said Frazier apparently went to sleep at the wheel as his car
moved into the line of the oncoming truck.  Deputy Sheriff C. H. Horton of Red
River Parish, said the car was crumpled in the front of the truck so that none
of the four wheels were touching the pavement.

Funeral services for Frazier were held at 2:30 p.m. Monday at the Laurel
Heights Baptist Church with Rev. C. C. Martin officiating.  Burial was in the
Garden of Memories Cemetery near Winnfield under the direction of Hixson
Brothers of Winnfield.

He was a member of the Laurel Heights Baptist Church, a 1966 graduate of
Winnfield High School, and a native of Winn Parish.

Survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Frazier, two sisters, Mrs.
Jimmie Lovell and Miss Jan Frazier, both of Winnfield, and a maternal
grandfather, J. H. Steen of Kelly.

Pallbearers were Artis Ray Sikes, Perry Jeter, Mike Dearmon, Rock Attuso,
Adrian Clinton, Leslie Davies, Keith Cox, and Mickey Morris.
