esteemed young farmer of rural

of friends called to pay their final
respects, from Sunday afternoon

The Sycamore pilot took off
from his parents farm, north of
town around 8 o'clock Friday
night for Lake Lawn lodge at
Delavan, Wis., which is about 15
miles from where 'he crashed,
when on his return trip.
A motorist on the Town Line
road, just east of Walworth spotted
the tail of the plane protruding
from behind a barn on
the Kinney farm, and notified
the deputies.
Authorities stated that the plane
hit the ground at full speed,
throwing the pilot from the cabin.
One of the wings was found
119 feet from the point of impact,
and the remainder of the plane
was in a crumpled pile some 40
feet behind the wing. The
crushed body of David was located
nine feet behind the plane.
Sheriff Joe Dorr said, that
Deutsch might have been attempting
to land in a nearby field. It
has not been determined as yet
whether he had been having engine
trouble. The young pilot had
flown this same route between
Sycamore and Delavan many
times, meeting with a group of
friends at the lodge.
Deutsch was born May 29, 1934
in rural Sycamore and resided on
the farm all his life. He was
graduated from the Sycamore
High School in 1952. He and a
brother, Wilfred, assisted their
