B. Cleotis Boone Fatally Injured Near Lockport
Falls on 3200-Volt Wire While Working on Transformer
Burns and shock from a 3200-volt wire received while at work near
Lockport, proved fatal to Burton Cleotis Boone, a former Winnfield

from Boone's body attracted his companion who by means of a rope
pulled him free and to the ground.  His face and body on one side
were badly burned and that with the high voltage shock rendered him
unconscious causing his death about one and one half hours later.
The body was prepared for burial and brought to Pollock where
funeral services were held at the Baptist Church conducted by the
Rev. A. M. Green, pastor, followed by the concluding rites at the
grave led by D. L. Lawrence, reader at the First Church of Christ-
Scientists, of Alexandria, Sunday afternoon at four o'clock.
Interment was in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery near Pollock.
Surviving the deceased are his widow, who was the former Miss Fay
Whitaker of Pollock, mother, Mrs. W. A. Boone of Winnfield, two
brothers, W. L. Boone of Rochelle and L. A. Boone of Winnfield; four
sisters, Miss Inez Boone and Miss Elizabeth Boone of Winnfield, Mrs.
John Houston of Warren, R. I., and Mrs. F. P. Verrett of Raceland.
