  • Obituary*: "AUTO CRASH KILLS ONE; HURTS THREE
    Blair Woman Instantly Killed and Three Others Injured When Car Plunges Off the Roadway.
       "BLAIR, Neb., Feb. 9.—(AP)—Mrs. Alex Hitchman, the third member of the family to die within six weeks and the second to be killed accidentally, was instantly killed, another woman was probably fatally inured and two others were severely cut and bruised when the automobile Mrs. Hitchman was driving plunged off the road near DeSoto shortly before noon today.
       "Mrs. Alma LaCour of New Orleans, riding in the front seat with Mrs. Hitchman, is in a critical condition in the Blair hospital. Miss Laura Reid, a sister of Mrs. Hitchman, and Mrs. Frank Curley were cut about the head, but not seriously injured. Two other occupants of the car, Mrs. C. T. Farnaham and Mrs. E. B. Carrigan, escaped injury.
       "The accident occurred when Mrs. Hitchman, who was driving about forty miles an hour, approached a bridge, failing to see a car parked on the opposite side. In an effort to swing around the machine she is believed to have lost control of her car.
       "Mrs. Hitchman’s sudden death follows that of her son, Alex, jr., fourteen, who died at Blair less than a month ago after an acute attack of appendicitis. Her nephew, Eugene Hitchman, twelve, was killed a short time previously when a .22 caliber rifle, carried by a playmate, was accidentally discharged.
       "Surviving Mrs. Hitchman are her husband, Alex Hitchman, president of the Farmers State bank here, and a son, Robert.
       "Mrs. Alex LaCour, who is visiting in Blair, was a sister of Harry Morris, one of the owners of the Blair canning company."10

       "CORSICANA (SPL)—Funeral services for Lendon E. Lewis, 55, and his brother, Walter G. Lewis, 58, both of Corsicana, will be at 3 p.m. today in Westminster Presbyterian Church. Rev. Eugene Wood and Rev. Robert J. Potts will officiate with burial in Resthaven Cemetery for Lendon Lewis and in Oakwood Cemetery for Walter Lewis.
       "Bodies of the brothers were found Wednesday night [29 Nov 1967] at Lake Halbert near Corsicana after they had been reported missing on a duck hunt.
       "Justice of the Peace W. H. Tipton said death was apparently from accidental drowning in the case of Walter G. Lewis and from exposure in the case of Lendon Lewis.
       "They were the sons of Mrs. Agnes Lewis of the Regis in Waco.
       "Walter Wood at Lake Halbert near Corsicana after they had been reported missing on a duck hunt.
       "Justice of the Peace W. H. Tipton said death was apparently from accidental drowning in the case of Walter G. Lewis and from exposure in the case of Lend at Lake Halbert near Corsicana after they had been reported missing on a duck hunt.
       "Justice of the Peace W. H. Tipton said death was apparently from accidental drowning in the case of Walter G. Lewis and from exposure in the case of Lendon Lewis.
       "They were the sons of Mrs. Agnes Lewis of the Regis in Waco.
       "Walter Wood at Lake Halbert near Corsicana after they had been reported missing on a duck hunt.
       "Justice of the Peace W. H. Tipto[sic] is survived by his wife and one son, Walter G. Lewis of Dallas. Lendon Lewis is survived by his wife.
       "The two men went duck hunting Wednesday, borrowed two life preservers from John Brown, the lake patrolman. When they did not return home around 8 p.m., a search was started.
       "About 11:30 p.m. searchers found the body of Lendon Lewis in a duck blind. He was on his back, out of the water, the upper part of his body behind a shelter that had been set up for retriever dogs. The blind was near the eastern shore.
       "On the bank nearby was a hat, two cushions, a thermos bottle, and other items. Also two retriever dogs were there.
       "Dragging operations began, and at about 3 a.m. the body of W. G. Lewis was found about 15 feet from shore in seven feet of water. This was about 100 feet north of the duck blind.
       "It was believed the brothers had finished hunting, left the blind, and with the two dogs had started across the lake in the boat when it capsized. It was thought that they started swimming, that Lendon Lewis made it to the blind and died of overexertion and exposure, and that Walter G. Lewis drowned before getting to shore.
       "It was thought by some that the hat, cushions and other objects on shore had been spilled when the boat capsized, and were carried ashore by the retriever dogs.
       "Neither man was wearing a life preserver when found.
       "The boat was of metal, carried scrap iron for ballast, had low sides and was 12 feet long."6
