FLIGHT VICTIM DIES OF BURNS
Funeral Of O.P. Knight To Be Held This Afternoon O.P. Knight, local aviator who was burned when a small plane belonging to Mrs. Ruth Carey which he was piloting burst into flames Sunday, died yesterday. Reports from the veteran's hospital where he was rushed immediately after the accident indicate that he had inhaled some of the flames. Initial examination, had not indicated that the fliers lungs were involved in the burns. It was reported, however, that his early death could not be accounted for by the extent of his external burns. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Parker-Grimshaw chapel with Rev. Fred W. Niedringhaus officiating. Mr. Knight came to Tuscon from Billings,Montana, and since his arrival here had been active in aviation circles. A charter member of the National Aeronautical association, the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club he has been active for many years in civic affairs. He was employed by the Waggoner Auto Parts company. He leaves his widow, Mrs. Winifred Knight, a daughter, Winifred Christine and a sister, Mrs. Alice Kuitems of Long Island.
Pallbearers will be Pete Waggoner, Everett Carey, Lon Blankenship, George Wilson, John Harrison, Roy Sanderson, Fred O. Goodell and Otto E. Myrland. Honorary pallbearers will include J.J. O'Dowd, C.J. Williams, William Bray, John S. Lyon, Edwin F. Stone and members of the Tucson Lions Club, Junior Chamber of Commerce and National Aeronautical Association.
