JAMES KAUZLARICH
---James Kauzlarich, fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kauzlarich of La Plata, died early on Sunday morning at the University Hospital in Columbia where he had been in critical condition after being admitted Saturday afternoon. He suffered a gunshot wound between the eyes Saturday morning while he was getting his rifle from his room at home.
---Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 in the Community Presbyterian Church with Rev. Frank Stout and Rev. Clyde Miller conducting the services. Burial was in La Plata Cemetery under direction of the Wilson Funeral Home.
---Young Kauzlarich was preparing to help his father and brother, Frank Jr., build fence and usually took his .22 caliber rifle along for target practice. James had won prizes in Boy Scout shooting meets. The bullet penetrated the left side of the brain and lodged at the back of the skull.
---He underwent surgery for one and a half hours Saturday evening after his ambulance trip from Kirksville Osteopathic Hospital but because of the critical brain injury he was sent to the Missouri University Hospital at Columbia. An ambulance from the Wilson Funeral Home which had taken the boy to Kirksville, struck another car just south of the Junction of Highways 63 and 36 at Macon, careened into a parked car and struck a telephone pole. Kenneth Wilson, driving the ambulance, was cut on the lip. The boy was not further injured in the accident and his parents who were riding with him, also escaped injury. A Macon ambulance finished the trip.
---The southbound ambulance, said the highway patrol, was employing its siren and red light and had proceeded through the intersection when a 1953 Chevrolet driven by Ralph Binder of Macon was struck as it pulled onto highway 63. Its damage was minor. The ambulance, which was extensively damaged at the front end, then struck a parked 1952 Ford owned by the Sutton Ford Co., inflicting heavy damage, and then came to rest after striking a telephone pole. Dr. Ralph Gillet first attended Kauzlarich and Deputy Sheriff Andrew Love investigated the gunshot.
---The son of Frank G. and Daisy (Henning) Kauzlarich, James was born January 3, 1944 in Kirksville.
---He attended the La Plata consolidated school where he was a Junior student. He was a member of the La Plata Boy Scouts. He was a member of the Golden Nugget 4-H Club.
---Surviving are his parents; two brothers, George, who is stationed in Canada with the armed forces, and Frank, Jr. who is home on leave from his station in Germany; one sister, Mrs. Wayne (Betty) Dunnington, who lives in California and several nieces and nephews.
