"Miner Man Found Dead Near Crowder"
Leaving his home on Route 2 north of Miner about 8 a.m. yesterday after telling his family he felt exceptionally well, William Cecil (should be Chester) Whistle, 53, went to his farm four miles west of Crowder and after making just one round of the field with his tractor, lay down under a shade tree and died of a heart condition, according to the coroner, Clyde Poe's report.
About 6:30 p.m. yesterday, Mrs. Gladys Whistle, and her daughter, Coral, drove to the farm to get Mr. Whistle. As they reached the field where he was to have been at work they saw the tractor but no sign of him. Searching they found him stretched out on the ground under the tree with his untouched lunch in the branches above.
Funeral services will be at the Church of Christ, of which he was a member, at 2 p.m. tomorrow with the Rev. J. C. Green officiating. Burial will be in the Elmwood Cemetery, Blytheville, Ark.
The body will lie in state in the Welsh Funeral Home. The family requests friends not to send flowers but if they wish to show their respect by gifts to make such gifts to the Morilton Orphanage Home, Morrilton, Ark.
Mr. Whistle was born at Fancy(Farm), Ky., Feb. 19, 1900, and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Gladys Whistle; two daughters, Coral Whistle at home and Mrs. Dale Van Patten of Bald Knob, Ark; one son, Don Whistle, of Sikeston; two sisters, Mrs. J. H. Brinn, of Dell, Ark., and Mrs. J. L. Lewis, of Blytheville, Ark.; three brothers, J. R. Whistle, of Steele; G. M. Whistle, of Helena, Ark., and A. L. Whistle, of Roseland, Ark.
