Lake Odessa Wave
          LOCAL MAN MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
   Ronald S. Cunningham, 23, was instantly killed Tuesday morning when the stock
truck he was driving left the road and toppled down an embankment turning over in 
the ditch.
   The accident occurred about 10:30 in the Smock Hills on M-43 between Sunfield and
Mulliken as Ronald was taking a load of stock to Detroit for the Lake Odessa 
Co-operative Association. Several of the eight head of cattle were injured, two so 
severely that they  were immediately shot.  The truck was practically demolished.
   Ronald was born in Woodland township south west of Lake Odessa and attended
Woodland schools.  For the past year he had been employed by the Co-op association.
   Surviving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Cunningham;  west of town, three
brothers, Arnold, a twin of Holt, Dareld of Lansing and Dale at home, also his 
grandmother Mrs. Myrte Gillaland of Lansing.
   The body reposes at the Pickens Chapel until Friday noon when it will be taken to
the Evangelical United Brethren church for services Friday afternoon at 2.  The 
Rev. Heltzel will officiate and burial will be in Lakeside cemetery.
