Iowa Flying Cadet Is Killed in Texas

Parents of W. S. Winters, Victim of Plane Crash, Live at Cedar Falls.

(International News Wire)
Cedar Falls, Ia., Jan. 11. – Injuries received in an airplane crash at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., caused the death of Cadet Wilmoth S. Winters, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Winters, Cedar Falls, the parents learned thru a telegram received late yesterday. Winters enlisted at Lincoln, Neb., eight months ago. He had attended the naval academy at Annapolis for two years. Winter’s parents, living at 2604 Olive street, when first advised of the accident were told his injuries were not serious. Another telegram brought the news he was dying. The family moved to Cedar Falls a few months ago from Rifle, Colo. Besides the parents, there surrive a brother, Max, and three sisters, Margaret, Alice and Mrs. W. B. Studt.

All except Mrs. Studt, whose home is in Denver, Colo., reside at Cedar Falls. The body probably will be taken to Cedar Falls for burial.
