Royal Donald Carter. 29. son of
Mrs. Mamie Lee Carter of this
city, was almost instantly killed
last Thursday morning about nine
o'clock, near Pollok in Angelina
County. He was placing a pin in a
coupling pole, attaching a trailer
to a truck when a log fell on the
rear of the trailer, causing the pole
to rise, striking him in the facc.
Carter and Doyle Lindscy were
log contractors and engaged in
hauling logs for the Kcn-du Lum-
ber Co., of Alto.
As soon as the accident happen-
ed, Mr. Lindsey placcd the injured
man in a car and rushed him to the
hospital at Lufkin, but he expired
as they entered the city of Lufkin.

day afternoon at 3:00 o'ciock at the

Laverne Lindsey Carter; two small
sons, Donald Wayne and Charles i
Michael Cartsr, and his mother, Mrs.'
Mamie Leo Carter, and a host of,
other relatives.
R. D. Carter's death has brought
much sadness to Alto, as he was
born and reared in Alto, went
through the Alto Public Schools,
graduating in 1942. He was a mem- ;
ber of the Yellow Jacket Football I
team during his time in school and
helped to bring a district champion-
ship to the school while he played
on the team.
He was among the first group of
boys from Alto that volunteered
for Naval service in Uncle Sam's
Navy when World War II broke
out, spent three years in the ser-
vice, being stationed on a number!
of islands in the Aleutian group
and saw much heavy service while
in the Japanese waters.
R. D. Carter will not only be
missed by his immediate relatives,
but by his scores of friends with
whom he was in daily contact. He
was generous to a fault, and was
constantly doing something for his
friends.
The tragedy brought sadness to
relatives and friends and he will
be greatly missed by those who
knew him best, and the sympathy
of the entire town goes out to his
grief-stricken wife, children and
mother, who will miss him most.
