The community was shocked to lean of the death of Perry Roland, 47, Monday night at the Clark Hospital in Paoli which was caused from injuries received late Monday afternoon when his truck loaded with logs crashed into an embankment on State Road 56, near Haysville, Ind., while enroute to his home in West Baden. It is thought that he lost control of the truck while making a curve going headon into an embankment and the heavy logs crushing the cab.
He is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Roland and has lived in this community his entire life. At the time of his death he was living in West Baden.
Funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church in West Baden Wednesday afternoon by Rev. R. Davis Mohler with interment in the Ames cemetery. W. V. Ritter & Son were in charge of the arrangements.
He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Ruth Stapleton, one step-son, Claudia Parson, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Roland and one brother, Roscoe Roland.

Perry Roland, son of George and Eliza Jones Roland, was born December 24, 1892 and passed away July 29, 1940 at the age of 47 years, 7 months and 5 days.
He was born and reared on a farm in Orange County, Indiana and spent the greater part of his life around the scenes of his childhood, operating a farm for several years.
About five years ago he moved to West Baden at which time he went into the timber business for the Farlow Lumber Company of Paoli. He was hauling logs when he met with the fatal accident, which caused his death. One infant son and two brothers have preceded him in death.
On August 31, 1939 he was married to Lillian Parsons of West Baden.
Industrious and hard working, he thought not of the hours of labor, but only of the end of the achievement in taking care of those dependent upon him.
The tender memories of his kindness and affection will long live in the heart of his wife, Lillian, and stepson, Claude Edward. He also leaves a daughter, Mrs. Deleal Stapleton, by a former marriage and many relatives and friends who will miss him greatly.
