Coppens, 27, of Muir met death in a car crash during a heavy fog shortly after midnight Wednesday, on the Portland cutoff road near Lyons. His car plunged off the road into a ditch, and pinned him underneath, but help didn't arrive in time to recover him from the wreckage and a possible chance of saving his life. Upon the investigation of Sheriff Herbert A. Ross and Coroner Harry Myers, it was found that Coppens died of head hemorages and a broken neck. Funeral services will be held Friday at 2:00 p.m. at the home of Coppens stepfather on State Road. Rev. Ellis of Belding will officiate and interment will be made in Woodard Lake cemetery.
