HOLLY CREEK MAN LOST LIFE MONDAY

D.E. Whitehead, aged 53 years, was killed accidentally Monday afternoon
when a stack of lumber fell upon him.  Mr. Whitehead owned a small sawmill
near his home in the Holly Creek vicinity, and had gone to the mill to do
some work.  Not returning home late in the afternoon a member of his family
was sent in search of him, finding his body penned under a large stack of
lumber at the mill.  The mill was not in operation and Mr. Whitehead was
alone at the time of his death.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Holly Creek cemetery
and were attended by a large crowd of friends and relatives.

Mr. Whitehead is survived by his wife and ten children, as follows: Mrs.
Ida Neal, Glen, Eddie, Arbie, Ray, Inex, Lorene, Bernice, William and
Juanita Whitehead.

Mr. Whitehead was an auctioneer and had conducted numerous sales in the
county, and was well and favorably known.  His friends will regret to 
learn of his death.

The News joins the many friends of the family in extending expressions of
deepest sympathy.
