Highway 80 Wreck Kills Minden Man
2 Escape Injury In Head-on Crash
A Minden man perished in the wreckage of his taxicab when he smashed headon into a truck about 1:40 a.m. yesterday 10 miles east of Bossier City on U.S. 80.
He was Frank H. Page, 55.
Final rites will be held at 2 p.m. today in the Green-Kleinegger Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in the Minden Cemetery.
Page was the third person to die in Bossier Parish traffic accidents the past four days. Two Negroes were killed late Friday a few miles south of Plain Dealing when their car struck a parked vehicle.
Death was attributed to internal injuries and multiple fractures by Bossier Coroner Dr. C. H. McCuller.
Two other persons, riding in the truck, escaped injury. Billy J. Jones, 26, 1611 Missouri Ave., driver, and J. R. McCullin, 1506 Hassett St., told state police Page apparently lost control of his car and swerved into the path of the truck.
The car was demolished and the truck received about $100 damage.
Page is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anna Price Page, two sons by a former marriage, names and addresses unknown; three brothers, L. W. Page, Lambert, Miss., J. B. Page of Delhi, R. D. Holley of Atoka, Okla.; four sisters, Mrs. H. C. Duck, Little Rock, Ark., Mrs. Lloyd Alexander, Pioneer, Mrs. Elmer McMillon and Mrs. Vernon McGroon [sic McBroom], both of Rayville.
