Body Of Ralph Thomas To Be Buried Here

The body of Ralph H. Thomas, aviator machinist, who was killed in a 
collision between a seapland and an army airplane at Cocosolo, in the 
Panama Canal Zone, will arrive in Prescott today, having been sent 
home by the naval authorities for interment.

Thomas' mother lives in Prescott, and the funeral, which will be 
conducted by Lester Ruffner's mortuary chapel next Tuesday, will be 
attended by many friends, including members of the American Legion.

Thomas enlisted in the navy the day the United States declared war on 
Germany, and on account of his ability as a mechanic was assigned to 
duty with a naval airplane squadron.  He was a member of the Prescott 
High School.
