Stamford Airport pilot Henson, of Haskell and Miss Winnie Williams killed.
Lloyd Henson, 31, of Haskell and Miss Winnie Williams, 19, of Stamford were killed shortly before 6:00 Sunday afternoon at the Stamford airport when Henson’s lightly powered biplane dived from an altitude of 300 to 400 feet, crashing in the center of the field. The plane was destroyed by fire, caused by the explosion of the gas tank and the bodies were badly burned. Mr. Henson was ready to take off for his home in Haskell with his brother-in-law, Ted Alexander when Miss Williams asked to be taken up. A companion of Miss Williams, J.D. Jamar sought to dissuade her.
Mr. Henson was the son of Mrs. John R. Henson of Seymour and a World War veteran. He operated a cafe in Seymour until last Spring and went to Fort Worth to take a flying course. He had been barnstorming since that time.
Surviving: wife, three children.
