(3/10/73) MEMORIAL RITES SCHEDULED
For N.C. Air Crash Victims
FT. BRAGG, N.C. (AP) - Memorial services will be held, Tuesday for 14 military personnel, including the son of a Rose Hill, Kan, woman, killed in a plane crash Thursday near Silk Hope in central North Carolina.
S.Sgt. Bartley L. Bullington, 36, son of Mrs. Jennie Bullington, Rose Hill, and brother of Robert Bullington, Wichita, was a crew chief with the Army's Golden Knights parachute team. Eleven members of the team died in the crash.
At the service, to be conducted by base chaplain Col. James A. Skelton of Fayetteville, N.C., one candle will be lighted for each of the victims.
A team of officers from Ft. Bragg is investigating the mishap but a spokesman said Friday the "long, tedious process" could take weeks.
The spokesman said the bodies of the two pilots of the C47 which crashed about 9 a.m. on a flight from Ft. Bragg to Independence, Kan., have been sent to North Carolina Memorial Hospital at Chapel Hill for autopsy. Bodies of the other victims are at Womack Army Hospital pending private funeral arrangements.
Other survivors of Bullington include his widow, Elisa, two sons, Bartley Jr. and Anthony, and a daughter, Elisa, all at home in Fayetteville; a brother Arthur, Maplewood, La., and four sisters, Mrs. Irene Stewart and Mrs. Emma Logsdon, both of Yukon, Okla., Mrs. Cheryl Parker, Broken Arrow, Okla., and Mrs. Joyce Sisson, New Orleans, La.
