Noble Anders Killed In Car Wreck Monday
NOBLE ROY ANDERS, 19-year-old son of Mr. & Mrs. Houston Anders, and his friend, William Bradley Wilson, Jr. 38, of Moab, Utah, were killed in a one-car automobile accident on Highway 180 about 27 miles north of Flagstaff Monday afternoon. According to Paul Metzke, half-brother of the Anders youth, the two men had apparently been in Flagstaff and were returning to Grand Canyon where they were employed by a mining firm. Highway Patrolman Roy Lambertson was quoted as saying that the 1961 sedan, believed to have been driven by Wilson, apparently went out of control, left the road, flipped end over end for 264 feet, then flew through the air for another 144 feet, coming to rest in some trees. Both victims, he said, were found 125 feet from the wreck. Young Anders was born May 24, 1943, in Wickenburg and attended school here. He had recently been employed by the Western Golden Uranium Mining Co. of Grand Canyon. Surviving are the parents; a sister, Margaret; and two half brother, Harold Paul Metzke and Emery Arthur Metzke, all of Wickenburg. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) in the Wickenburg chapel with the Rev. Robert Jenkins, past of the first Baptist Church, officiating. Burial will be in the Wickenburg Cemetery.
