Jack E. Woodell of Phoenix, former Wickenburg policeman, died suddenly

for a deer. Woodell shot a deer but collapsed as he was climbing down a
hillside to get it.

Mr. Woodell, 46 years old, was in the insurance business. Mrs. Woodell
is the sister of William Nelson of Wickenburg.

Surviving, in addition to the widow, are a son, Claude, a daughter, Mrs.
Richard Whitehead, and one granddaughter. Mrs. Whitehead is the former
Elaine Woodell. Her husband is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Whitehead
of Wickenburg.

Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. William Boyce in Phoenix at
10 a.m. Thursday. Burial followed in the Greenwood Memorial Park
cemetery there.
