MORRIS, Mahlon
The pilot of a Navy carrier type plane was killed in a crash, near Wing, Illinois yesterday and was identified through papers in his wallet and an identification bracelet as Mahlon Morris, 23, of nearby Fairbury. Both Wing and Fairbury are in Livingston county. Morris was a Marine fighter pilot before discharge from the service six months ago and according to the death certificate had presumably taken off from the Glenview Naval air station to put in flying time. He was a member of the naval reserve. [Daily Illini, 12 July 1946]
