BEAVERTON MAN KILLED IN CAR MISHAP

FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR LYNES OAKLEY ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON

   Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon for Lynes Lee Oakley, 48, who 
was fatally injured early Saturday morning when he fell from an automobile 
north of Beaverton. The Rev. George Huggard, of Midland, officiated at the 
services from the Beaverton Methodist church and burial was made in the 
Beaverton cemetery. According to Sheriff Arthur Kelly, who investigated the 
accident the other occupants of the car were Oakley's wife, Anna; Laurence 
Priest, owner of the car; Clem Kelly a visitor at Beaverton; and Lilly Kirky, 
of Coleman. 
   They told the sheriff that Oakley was driving the car when the mishap 
occurred, shortly after midnight between Gladwin and Beaverton. His 
companions, unable to give any reasons for his fall, said they were able to 
keep the car from going off the road and brought it under control. They 
brought Oakley to the Gladwin Hospital where he died at two o'clock. 
   Oakley was born July 4, 1901, at New Haven Center in Gratiot county and had 
resided at Saginaw before moving to Beaverton. He married the former Anna 
Cripps in Toledo, Ohio, in April of 1941. He was a member of the Midland 
Eagles Aerie. Surviving are his widow, Anna; two daughters, Dorothy, 14, and 
Letha, seven; and two sons, Robert, 12 and Leo, nine, all at home; and his 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stanton Oakley, of Beaverton.
