In loving memory of our dear
mother. Mrs. Nancy Stewart. who
passed away March 20, 1852.
The midnight stars are shining,
Upon your silent grave;
Beneath it sleeps the one we love,
The one we could not save.
Although your soul is now at rest,
And free from grief and pain,
The world would seem like heaven
If we had you back again.
Sadly missed by children, Ray
mond and Eugene Stewart Ruth

Marine Pilot Dies,
2'Chute to Safety
In Flaming Crash

QUINBY, Va. July 5 (P.-
A f1ame-stricken Marine plane
carried one f1ier to his death
in a soybean field near this At
lantic coastal village today af-
ter two others escaped in low
level parachute jumps.
The Skyraider, a single-en-
gine propeller driven plane, ran
into trouble over the ocean dur
ing an instrument flight from
the Marine facility at Edenton,
N. c., to the Naval Air Station
at Floyd Bennett Field in New
York. Fire apparently broke out
shortly after it made an 9 am.
position report by radio to the
air station at Norfolk.
Witnesses said it swept in to-
ward the Eastern Shore penin-
sula which separates Chesa-
peake Bay from the open sea
trailing smoke and fame. Two
'chuteS billowed out and NOM
ents later the plane nosed in
to the field and burned.
An officer at the nearby
Chincoteague Naval Air Sta
tion said the pilot may have
been trying to ditch the plane
in shallow water.
The two survivors were re-
porter in fair condition at the
Portsmouth Naval Hospital.
The Navy said the names OF
the casualties would be made
available at Edenton.
