Dallas (TX) Morning News, August 21, 1974. Cargo Plane Wreckage Discovered. "Santiago (UPS) - The wreckage of a U. S. Air Force cargo plane with seven crewmen aboard was sighted in mountains near the Bolivian capital of La Paz, the American Embassy in Chile said. There were no signs of survivors. "An embassy official said the remain(s) of the USAF Hercules C141 cargo aircraft had been spotted and that "there were no signs of life from the air." "The aircraft was sighted in mountainous terrain about 10 miles from La Paz," the official said. Joseph was born 5 Sept 1936 in Bowling Green, KY; died 18 Aug 1974; is buried in Fairview Cemetery in Bowling Green (Warren Co). He was the son of Joseph Matthew. Gorin Sr and Pauline Lightfoot; grandson of James Brock Gorin and Mollie Shannon; g-grandson of Thompson B Gorin and Emily Runner; gg-grandson of John Henry Gorin and Elizabeth Jones; ggg grandson of Gladin Gorin and Nancy Hinch. "The aircraft was carrying 16 tons of cargo and was scheduled to land in La Paz on a flight from Charleston, S.C. A spokesman at Charleston Air Force Base said radio contact with the plane was lost six minutes outside La Paz John F. Kennedy Airport. "The spokesman said American military aircraft were flying to La Paz to make a "positive identification of the wreckage site and search for possible survivors." "The Chilean Air Force rescue service in Santiago announced earlier that it had been notified that the plane had been sighted in Bolivian territory. "A U. S. Air Force spokesman at Charleston, S.C., identified the crewmembers as Capt. James R. Tant, pilot; 1st Lt. Charles T. Moorefield, first copilot, of Greensboro, N. C; 2nd Lt. Dale W. Lake, second copilot, of Cleveland; Capt Paul N. Burroughs, nativator, of Yuma, Ariz.; T. Sgt Carl H. Church, Bucyrus, Ohio; T. Sgt. Thomas H. Kuechman of Owosso, Mich., and M. Sgt Joseph M. Gorin. "The spokesman said relatives of Tant and Gorin had asked that their hometowns not be released." Also, I made a slip yesterday in identifying one Charles Madison Gorin (mining). Right person, wrong middle name - he was Charles Martin Gorin. I have also found some information on the census records on the Yeargin family. Sandi Col.
