Raymond Hay Killed In Airplane Crash
Second Lieut. Raymond Hay of Clarendon, was one of ten airmen killed in the crash of an army heavy bomber ten miles southwest of Boise, Idaho, late Friday night.
Notice of his death was received Saturday night by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hay of this city.
Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 3:30, at the Baptist Chruch [sic], with Rev. E.L. Moody conducting the service.
Lieut. Hay, who was 21 years old, had been reared in Clarendon and was a graduate of the Clarendon High School. He entered the Army Air Forces nearly eight months ago. His father has been connected with the Greene Dry Goods Company at Clarendon for a number of years.
Raymond was a member of the local Baptist Church, having been baptized several years ago.
Raymond Hay was a quiet youth and enjoyed the friendship of many boys and elders as well. When the war broke out he had an ambition to fly - a place where he thought he could do the most good. Like other boys in the service, he had but one desire and that was to crush the axis and all they stood for. He worked diligently at the task before him and was commissioned only a few weeks before he met his tragic end. He loved to soar through the blue sky and dreamed of the day when he could join other American boys over the battle fronts. Though he missed that aim, the ideals for which he stood, are made stronger by his having lived. His death has brought sadness to those who knew and loved him, but he will be remembered as the boy who died that others might live.
Besides his parents, he is survived by a younger sister, Portia, and a host of relatives.
Pallbearers will be S/Sgt. Shelby C. Bell, Jr., Pfc. James E. Bell, Pvt. Kenneth Bell, Pvt. Weldon Warren, Pvt. Coleman Huffman, Pvt. Dempsy Robinson.
Flower girls will be Maxine Robertson, Frances Adkins, Nelda Sue Burton, Juanita Bingham, Hazel Bingham and Annie Ree Porter.
Interment will be in Citizens Cemetery with Buntin Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
