M. L. Williams Of Williana Killed Thursday

The accidental death of Marvin Leonard Williams, age 25 years, 9 months, and 5
days, of Williana was discovered Thursday night by his wife, Mrs. Maxine
Williams, and D. A. Beltz, who searched for him after he failed to return from
his job of unloading piling on the railroad.  His community is greatly
saddened by his untimely death.

He was found by the side of the railroad about one mile from his home.  His
head had been crushed.  It was believed that he loosened the binding on his
load and the piling fell on him as he crawled from under the truck.

and burial was in the Liberty Chapel Cemetery with Rev. C. E. Arrington,
Rev. Roy O'Connor, Rev. Olan Walters, and Rev. Guy Allen officiating.
Pallbearers were Chris Sharbano, J. A. McBride, W. D. Richard, Albert Slayter,
