Man Dies In Mishap At Plant

A Winnfield man died Wednesday, December 19, when he walked under the wheels
of a log truck.

He was identified as Joe Willie Walker of 120 Moss Street.

Tremont Lumber Company officials reported Walker was hurt in front of the
security guard house at their plant.  Walker had hitched a ride to the plant
on a log truck and he intended to apply for work.

When he got out of the truck and walked to the security house, the guard asked
him for his identity.  He did not answer but turned and walked back toward the
truck which was already moving and he was hurt, the company, the company said.

That was about 7:45 a.m.  Walker was taken to the hospital then transferred to
Shreveport where he died later in the day.

The company said it notified the sheriff's office on receiving notice of
death.

Funeral services were held Sunday under direction of Ben Johnson Funeral Home. 
Survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Walker, Jr., of Winnfield.
