JACK DWIGHT HYATT
Funeral services for Jack
Dwight Hyatt, 27, who was killed
early Sunday when he lost con-
trol of the heavy butane truck
he was driving and crashed about
two miles north of Gainesville on
highway 77, were held Tuesday
afternoon in Shawnee, Okla.
Burial was in Shawnee and
military rites were conducted at
the graveside.
The accident in which Mr. Hy-
att was killed occurred at 4 a. m.
Sunday. Marks indicate that the
truck traveled in the bar ditch
along the highway for consid-
erable distance before stopping
in a small creek. The heavily
loaded butane tanks turned up-
side down on the truck cab pin-
ning Mr. Hyatt inside. It took
two hours to free his body as
death from asphyxiation from an
automobile accident. A winch
truck from Gainesville was called
out to help free him from the
cab.
Hyatt had lived in Gainesville

“I want property owners to get

hard to do that when people
threaten to dety the law. People
have the right to present their
grievances to congress. But it is
something else to advocate that
people do not’obey the law, which
is anarchy.”
