Aviator's Body Arrives Today
Harold E. Lawhead of Jersey City Succumbs to Burns
The body of Harold E. Lawhead barnstorming airplane pilot, who lived at 109 Palisads avenue, Hudson City, and who died Friday at Jonesboro, Ark, as a result of burns received in an attempted rescue of two girls from his burning plane, is expected to arrive in Jersey City late this morning.
Lawhead was a native of Clearfield, PA., coming here eight years ago to work on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, where he was employed as an engineer. For six years he lived at 81 Crescent avenue, Jersey City, but several months ago, upon his becoming the owner of a plane, he established himself in the middlewest as a short flight pilot, taking up pasengers for a few minutes at two or three dollars per trip.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Veronica Lawhead, and an 18-month-old son, named for his father. At present they are living with Mrs. Lawhead's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Herlihy, at the Palisade avenue address.
Lawhead hovered between life and death for five days.
Eyewitnesses said that Lawhead had been thrown clear of the plane after it had crashed from an altitude of several hundred feet, and had arisen from the ground apparently uninjured. When he saw the burning plane he returned to it, and plunged into it, in a vain attempt to rescue his two passengers, Miss Elizabeth Osborn and Miss Ruby Hinson, both of Jonesboro. The two girls were already dead when he reached them, he said afterwards in the hospital, but before he could leave the plane he was severely burned on the legs, arms and body.
In addition to his wife and son, Lawhead is survived by his father, and four brothers, all living in PA. During the World War, Lawhead served overseas, but not in the air force.
Funeral arrangements have been delayed, pending arrival of the body.
