Coates, Former Winnfield Citizen Victim Auto Accident A telegram was received Tuesday by H. C. Riser, telling of the death of his brother in law, D. B. Coates, in Los Angeles, California, as a result of an automobile accident at 8:30 p.m. Monday. The news was a distinct shock to Winnfield where for so many years Mr. Coates was one of the foremost citizens and his old friends regret his unfortunate and untimely death. When a very young man, David Benjamin Coates came to Winnfield and secured employment in the office of the Comrade, at that time owned by B. W. Bailey and later purchased by The Southern Sentinel. His clean cut and forceful editorials on the issues of that time marked him as a man of high intelligence and prophesied for him a successful career in the newspaper realm. Upon leaving Winnfield, Mr. Coates went to Longview, Texas where he operated successfully for a number of years when he sold this paper and purchased another in Forney, Texas. About five years ago he went to Los Angeles where he again engaged in newspaper work, continuing until his death last Monday. Mr. Coates is survived by his widow, who before her marriage was Miss Josie Magee, and nine children. They are Magee, who is married and lives in Los Angeles; Bennie, George, Iley, Josie, Clara Choice, Ella Belle, and James Ferguson. --------------28D4CBADE0C3C0A68C4515DB--

From: May 31, 1951 Winn Parish Enterprise Montgomery Boy Drowns Six Rescued in River Ernest Myers, 14, oldest of seven children of Mr. and Mrs. Waymon Myers of Montgomery, was drowned Sunday afternoon when a motorboat in which he was riding with six other youngsters and an adult swamped in Old River two miles south of St. Maurice. The other children in the boat, ranging in ages from 18 months to 14 years, were saved through the efforts of Charles D. Mattson of Winnfield, forester with Mansfield Hardwood Lumber Company; Jerome Smith, a Montgomery service station operator; Evan Smith, son of Jerome Smith; and Ralph Johnson of St. Maurice. Children in the swamped boat, operated by Felix Pender of Montgomery, were Charlotte Ann and Jimmy Cardozier, Lester Edwards, and three children of Buford Pender, whose names were not known. According to Mr. Mattson and Mrs. Smith, the drowning occurred about 2 p.m. Sunday. Mattson and Smith were fishing in one boat, and Evan Smith and Ralph Johnson in another, when Felix Pender and the boatload of seven youngsters started on a motorboat ride in the lake, Old River, a cutoff from Red River. Pender came to the boat from which Johnson and young Smith were fishing, and gave them some unused minnows they had before taking the children for a ride. When he started away, he got about 150 yards, when the motor went dead. The heavy load is believed to have caused the front end of the boat to "nose dive" at the sudden stop. The two other boats were rowed to the swamped boat by Mattson and Smith, and Johnson and young Smith. Mattson stripped off trousers and shoes and got into the water, helped five of the children to the other boats, where they were pulled in, some of the children said there was one missing. Mr. Mattson found the missing boy, Ernest Myers, tangled in a fishing line. He was brought to shore and artificial respiration was used in a vain attempt to revive him. Fireman from the Natchitoches Fire Department came to the scene to attempt resuscitation. Their efforts were also unsuccessful. Dr. Kuhlman of Montgomery and Dr. Roland Schmidt of Winnfield went to the scene. Mr. Mattson, whose swimming ability saved the lives of some of the children, credited Lester Edwards, son of Charlie Edwards of St. Maurice, and one of the occupants of the Pender boat, with saving the life of one of the small children. Mattson stated that young Edwards got the child to the swamped boat and held him back down on the boat, barely awash, until he could be moved to one of the other boats. He also stated that in his opinion the accident, might not have occurred had the boat not been overloaded. He cautioned against overcrowding small boats and urged a swimming and water safety program at the local swimming pool. --------------9206CBFC78F0F37629C59F9C--
