"MAN WHO DIED IN FREIGHT CAR TO BE BURIED - Denton, July 16 - Funeral services for E. G. Behringer, 65, whose body was found in a freight car in Dension Friday night, will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Schmitz-Floyd-Hamlett Chapel with rev. Leon R. McElroy officiating. Burial will be in Roselawn Memorial park.
Behringer, a resident of Denton for 20 years, had gone to a freight car on the siding near the depot here about noon Friday to sweet up some loose grain for his chickens and hogs. When he failed to return home at the usual time officers were notified.
Several hours later the car was attached to a freight train and pulled on to Denison. A verdict by a Denison justice of peace said that Behringer apparently died of a heart attack.
Survivors are his wife; two sons, Airman Leon R. Behringer of O'Hare International Airport, park Ridge, Ill., and Lewis W. Behringer of Denton; three brothers, Clifford Behringer of Fort Worth, W. E. Behringer of Grand prairie and Frank Behringer of Alta Loma; two sisters, Mrs. Lillie Greenwade of Meridian and Mrs. Alice Millsap of Denver, Colo."
