Last Rites Are Held For Bill Haigler At Gansville Saturday

Roy Don "Bill" Haigler, age about 26 years, son of Mrs. J. T. Haigler of
Dodson, was killed Wednesday afternoon of last week as the result of a plane
crash, which occurred in the vicinity of Jacksonville, Fla., during a rain
squall.  The pilot also was killed in the wreck.

Haigler was a seaman, first class, and a fine young man, and his untimely
passing was a great shock to a host of relatives and friends.  Some time ago
he enlisted with the Air Service.

Haigler is survived by his mother, Mrs. J. T. Haigler of Dodson; Hubert and
Harold Haigler of Shreveport; Glen and Jack Haigler of Houston; Paul of
Springhill; Arnold of Minden; Mrs. Brown of Jonesboro, Mrs. Beasley of
Crossett, Ark.; and Miss Ruth Haigler of Lubbock, Texas.

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at Gansville Baptist Church with
Rev. John Kitchingham, pastor of the Columbia Baptist Church having
officiated.  Interment was in the Gansville Cemetery.
