Victim of Car Wreck Buried At Sikes Mon.

Wiley Head Dies After Returning to Longview After Car Wreck

Wiley Head, 36 years of age, dropped dead at Longview, Texas, Saturday
afternoon, after he had returned there from Sikes, where he had had a car
wreck earlier in the day.  The wreck occurred according to reports, when
Head's car collided with the Nichols truck on the Dodson-Grayson highway about
a mile from Sikes.  The cars were coming from opposite directions and collided
when they met over a hill, and Head became nervous and lost control of his
machine.

In the car with Head were his mother, Mrs. Isaac Head, his wife and several
others.  He, his mother, wife, and Earl Hatten were treated by a physician at
Sikes.  His injuries were not considered serious and they proceeded to
Longview where he fell dead from internal injuries.

Funeral services were conducted at Sikes Monday by the Rev. M. L. Lee, Rev.
Joe Adams, and L. D. Emmons.

The deceased is survived by his wife, mother, four children, Willie Mae,
LaVerne, LaVelle, and Hazel; three brothers, Walter, Doc, and Henry, and four
sisters, Pina, Lona, Ollie, and Dollie Mae.
