I. B. McDavid of Natchitoches Dies From Injuries

Isom Bowman McDavid, 31, who died July 2 at his home in Natchitoches, was
buried at Monday at 3 p.m., with final services held at the Robeline Baptist
Church.  Rev. Protho officiated, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Cockerham.

Mr. McDavid died from injuries received in a highway accident while enroute to

was riding a highway "train" operated by the Shrine organization.  A trailer
hitch apparently broke loose and the trailer rolled down the highway turning
completely over and coming to a stop back on its wheels.  He was given first
aid and later taken to his home in Natchitoches where he succumbed several
days later.

He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. McDavid of Winnfield and the brother of
V. W. McDavid and of Mrs. H. C. Sandifer, both of Winnfield.  He also leaves
his wife and a son, Bowman G. of Natchitoches.
