W.L. (Bill) Lambert, aged 31 years, of Dierks, Ark., was fatally injured in
a car wreck which occurred about 16 miles east of Broken Bow, about 8:30 p.m.
Sunday night.  He was rushed to the hospital at De Queen, Ark., where an
examination showed his skull was fractured.  He was unconscious when first
hurt, but regained consciousness before his death, which occurred about 9:30.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben E. Lambert and Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Lambert, of this city, 
were notified immediately after the accident, but did not reach De Queen
until after his death.

The body was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben E. Lambert Monday and
funeral services were conducted there Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 by Rev.
W.C. Hilliard, pastor of the First Methodist Church, of Dierks, Ark.  The
body was laid to rest in Crown Hill Cemetery near this city.  Mr. Lambert
united with the Methodist Church when very young.  He was a Royal Arch Mason
and a member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge.  The Masonic Lodge of Dierks had charge
of the body after the funeral.  A large number of Dierks people attended the
funeral.

Mr. Lambert had lived in Dierks eight years, where he held a position with
the Choctaw Lumber Company.  He formerly lived in Broken Bow and had many
friends here, as well as in Dierks.

The floral offerings were beautiful and numerous.

The deceased is survived by his wife and two daughters, aged 6 and 9; four
brothers, Ben F. Lambert and Hunter Lambert, Broken Bow; Elmer Lambert,
Oklahoma City, and J.C. Lambert, who could not be located, and one sister,
Mrs. F.C. Sawyer, of Little Rock, Ark.
