| 21514 | Niagara Gazette - 8/7/1965 LAKEWOOD, Calif. -A light plane bound for Niagara Falls, N. Y., groping through heavy fog, crashed into a cemetery t o d a y , spewing bodies and plane parts into a suburban housing tract. All eight persons aboard- members of two families on their way to a family reunion in Niagara Falls-were killed, sheriff's deputies said. No one on the ground appeared to be hurt, they added. "If the pilot had gone a little further he sure would have taken out another dozen people at least," said a sheriff's deputy. The plane, a twin-engine Beechcraft C45H. crashed into All Souls Cemetery at 6:12 a.m. EDT, minutes after taking off from Long Beach Airport, IV2 miles south. "It was like an explosion," said John Hagedorn who lives a few yards away. "I looked out the back window and there was fire all over the backyard. I saw plane parts all over the yard-and two bodies." Another body landed in the dining room window of Hagedorn's "neighbor, Joseph Rhoades. A plane engine plowed through a n o t h er neighbor's garage. "The power went out," said Mrs. Rhodes, "and it was half an hour before I noticed the d i n i n g room c u r t a i n all bunched up. Then I saw blood on the dining room floor. I realized it was a man's body, hanging halfway over the other window sill." Sheriff's Lt. Roy Kundtz identified the victims, from papers found near the crash site. a s : James Whitmarsh, 37, the pilot, of Lakewood; his wife, Mildred, and their children, Terry, 16, and Mary Mar Two of the victims of the California air tragedy, Mrs. James Whitmarsh and Mrs. James Edward Dent, were na- tives of this area. They were daughters of Mr., and Mrs. Clarence F. Swearenge, 6420 Elsa Place, Town of Niagara. Mr. Whitmarsh, a former pilot in this city, was flying the plane at the time it crash- ed in heavy fog. mr. Whit- marsh, 37, his wife, Mildred, and their children, Terry, 16, and Mary Margaret, 14, were killed instantly. Other victims of the crash were 37-year-old James Dent, his wife, Rebecca, and their children, Peggy, 15, and Rich- ard, 16. The two families were com- ing home for a family reunion according to Mrs. Clarence Swearengen, Jr., 5025 Isher- wood Drive, Town of Niagara, a sister-in-law of the two dead women. The whitmarsh family lived in 8211 Colonial Drive, Col- onial Village until about two years ago when they moved to California. Mr. Whitmars was a private pilot. "He flew for me when I was in the leasing business during the construction of the power project," said James A. Whitworth, president of Whitworth Motors. Whitmarsh flew a twinengine Beechcraft for Mr. Whitworth, and was known to be an "excellent pilot," according to Mr. Whitworth. it was a twin-engined Beechcraft which crashed. Relatives here said Whitmarsh was flying for a stock car owner in California. It was this plane he was using for the trip home. This is not the first time tragedy has hit the Whit- Whitmarsh family. In 1961 the youngest son of James and M i l d r e d Whitmarsh, little Jimmy Whitmarsh, was accidentally electrocuted in a neighboring yard. In addition to their parents, Mrs. Whitmarsh and Mrs. Dent are survived by a sister, Mrs. Mary Timm, Tonawanda; and three brothers, Clarence S w e a r e n gen Jr., Richard Swearengen, 101st Street, and Donald Swearengen, Cain Road.
