Youth and
Girl Found
Dead in
Parked Auto
A 17 year-old Columbus youth and his 14
year-old female companion died early today apparently from carbon monoxide
poisoning, according to preliminary findings of the Bartholomew county
coroner's office.
Willis (Butch) D. Lucas, Jr., 17, and
JoAnn Whittington, 14, were found in a car parked at the end of Blessing road near
the Quality Surplus company about 4:50 a.m. today by Lucas father.
Lucas is the son of Willis and Janet
Lucas, 1170 Williams street in Garden City.
Miss Whittington is the daughter of James and Elsie Fields, 824 Cottage.
Dr. Brvan Nelson of the county
coroner's office said preliminary autopsy findings indicate the pair died of
carbon monoxide poisoning. Police
investigating the incident theorize the two stopped the car Sunday night and
left the engine running because of cold temperatures.
No foul play is suspected in the
deaths, and the incident has been considered accidental to both police and the
county coroner.
Officers said they found the two fully
clothes. A report said alcoholic
beverage bottles were found in the vehicle as was some marijuana and
paraphernalia for using the drug.
Dr. Nelson said additional laboratory
testing was being done to determine if there were any contributory elements to
the death of the youths.
County Sheriff Jimmie McKinney said
police have not yet checked the Lucas car to determine how the carbon monoxide
fumes might have leaked into the vehicle.
McKinney said the car has been towed to Hills' Salvage yard on Road 31
South pending police investigation.
Preliminary police findings did not
state whether the vehicle was running when found by Lucas' father.
Funeral services for Miss Whittington
will be conducted at 1 p.m. Wednesday, at the Reed and Jewell funeral home by
the Rev. Roy Lambert. Calling hours at the
funeral home will be after 1 p.m. on Tuesday.
Miss Whittington was born May 2, 1961
in Indianapolis, and was a seventh grader at Central junior high school. She attended Shiloh Separate Baptist church.
Survivors include the parents, James
and Elsie Fields of 824 Cottage; a sister, Jean Fields, at home; two
step-brothers, Larry and Richard Fields; and a grandfather, Howard Calhoun.
Funeral services for Lucas will be
conducted at 1 p.m. Thursday at Reed and Jewell Funeral home by the Rev. Gerald
V. Stump. Burial will be at Garland
Brook cemetery. Calling hours at the
funeral home will be from 2 to 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Lucas was born Oct. 6, 1958 in
Columbus, the son of Willis and Janet Stewart Lucas. He was a junior at Columbus North high school
and had been employed last summer at the Union 76 truck stop north of Columbus.
Surviving with the parents are two
sisters, Rebecca, at home, and Sherry Moir of 1317 Hutchins. He was preceded in death by a sister, Amber
Lee Ford in 1968.

City Chief
Plum Dies
Charles L. Plum, who had served as
Parkersburg's chief of police for the past two years, died yesterday in
University Medical Center, Morgantown.
The 22-year veteran of law enforcement also served as president of the
West Virginia Chiefs of Police Assoc. at the time of his death.
Chief Plum, 51, had undergone surgery
about a week ago. He resided with his
wife, Lillian Daugherty Plum at 2807
28th St. She survives with two
sons, Charles Edward and Stephen M. Plum of Parkersburg. One brother, Russell of Parkersburg and two
grandchildren also survive.
One brother preceded him in death.
Plum joined the Parkersburg Police
Dept. in Sept. 1954 and in 1959 was elevated to the rank of sergeant. In 1971 he was made head of the department's
Traffic Division, and in 1973, was commissioned as lieutenant. On Aug. 1, 1974, Mayor William P. A. Nicely
appointed him chief to succeed retiring chief, D. V. Eaton.
Born at Hundred, W.Va., a son of Charles
D. and Goldie Henderson Plum of Parkersburg, he was a member of Marrtown Rd.
Church of Christ. He was educated at

By the
public which he served as the city's chief enforcement officer and by the corps
of officers under his supervision, Charlie Plum was recognized as an able and
dedicated defender of the law.
Throughout his meritorious service, which ranged from patrolman to chief
of police, Mr. Plum compiled an enviable record in the field of enforcement.
His
death in a Morgantown Hospital following major surgery came as shocking news to
a community which held in high esteem the man whose tireless efforts in curbing
crime and bringing to the bars of justice the guilty were widely acknowledged. He was known by his fellow officers as a
low-key disciplinarian, a reserved and forceful leader who disdained the
vehement reproach to those who involuntarily erred in the performance of duty. His corrective procedures were never
unnecessarily stern and were unabusively administered with a courteous
effectiveness that compelled attention to authority without undue humiliation
to those who had encouraged censure.
Chief
Plum was never oblivious to the countless demands of his high station which
increased correspondently with the growth of the city and the institution of a
new traffic pattern which required his unremitting attention and ceaseless
supervision.
Other
enforcement agencies found Mr. Plum a cooperative counselor and a man willing
to employ the power of his office in the everlasting assault against
crime. He offered his personal and
helpful attention in the investigative field where his qualifications were
widely acknowledged in the detection of crime.
Mr.
Plum's death removes from the city's official family a man admirably suited to
carry out the innumerable duties that must be shouldered by a chief of
police. The News extends to chief Plum's
family our deepest sympathy during this period of bereavement.

*Submitter's Notes:
* His birth
certificate shows he was born in Tell City, Indiana, on March 12, 1917. The
U.S., Social Security Death Index, 1935-2014 also gives March 12, 1917 as his
birth; but the U.S., World War II Draft Cards Young Men, 1940-1947 and the
U.S., Department of Veterans Affairs BIRLS Death File, 1850-2010 both show
February 12, 1917 as the date of birth.
