Crash kills resident

Garland Roberson, 58, was killed Tuesday afternoon when the pickup was driving collided with a trailer 
truck at the intersection of La. 607 and US 65 north of Tallulah.

Roberson, a native Winnfield, resided in Tallulah for 34 years, and owned and operated Garland's

forced onto the shoulder of the Highway, where the Roberson vehicle struck the side of it. No further 
details were known Wednesday.

Hazel Bradley Roberson; four daughters, Mrs. Robert Kivett, Mrs. Truman Collins, Mrs. Larry Black and 
Miss Jane Roberson, all of Tallulah; four sisters, Mrs. Cora Mae Reeves, Mrs. Gloria Bradley, 
Mrs. Faye Harmon and Mrs. Louise Cox; and six grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p. m. today at the First Baptist Church under the direction of Crothers 
Funeral Home with the Rev. Crawford Williams officiating. Burial will follow in Providence Memorial Park Cemetery.
