        Douglas C. "Doug" Eastman, of Midland, our beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed away Monday, Jan. 16, 2012, at the age of 87 years.

        Doug was born March 16, 1924, in Lansing, to the late Claude and Loma (Kinkade) Eastman. Doug lived his life with exuberance, bravery, and a never ending sense of humor. He was miserly with his own needs but generous to a fault with others, especially those in need. His magnetic personality touched everyone around him, friends and family alike. He truly never met a stranger. He loved playing pool, poker, and sports. He earned MVP for the 1941 Breckenridge District Champion football season, where he lettered in football, basketball and baseball. He was an avid golfer in his retirement, highlighted by golfing at St. Andrews in Scotland with his wife, Betty.

        Doug fought in the U.S. Army during World War II and earned a bronze star. After the war ended he played baseball with the U.S. Army before returning home. He retired from General Motors, where he worked as a millwright. Doug and Betty traveled throughout Europe and extensively throughout the U.S.A. and Canada.

        Doug is survived by his wife of 69 years, Betty (Loomis) Eastman; children, Suzanne (Ken Winter) Eastman, Douglas Jon Eastman, Jane (John) Doan, and Cindy (Tim) Ward; 10 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and his brother, John (Phyllis) Eastman.

Columbus County mother, daughter die in crash that injured younger woman's husband, baby

By Deuce Niven, Correspondent

        FAIR BLUFF - A mother and daughter died in a collision with a tractor-trailer that injured the younger woman's husband and infant child Thursday afternoon, said Trooper E.E. Nance Jr. of the North Carolina Highway Patrol.

        Pamela Hamilton, 49, of Dave Meares Road in Cerro Gordo, died at the scene of the 2:19 p.m. crash on U.S. 76, 2.3 miles east of Fair Bluff, Assistant Columbus County Coroner William Hannah said.

        Hamilton's daughter, Jennifer Sanders, 26, of Andrew Jackson Highway SW in Fair Bluff, died later at McLeod Loris (S.C.) hospital, Columbus County Coroner Linwood Cartrette said.

        Sanders' husband, Billy Ray Sanders Jr., 27, and their 6-month-old daughter LeAnn Ray Sanders, were taken by ambulance to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Sanders was in critical condition Thursday night, while the baby was in stable condition, Nance said.

        Hamilton was driving a 1997 Ford Taurus and had slowed some distance ahead of the Sanderses' home, Nance said.

        A tractor-trailer loaded with grain, driven by Shual Gene Sellers, 31, of Old Stake Road in Chadbourn, moved to the left lane and was attempting to pass the Ford when Hamilton turned left, heading for her daughter's driveway.

        The truck slammed into the driver's side of the small car. Hamilton died in the car of massive head trauma, Hannah said.

        No charges are anticipated, Nance said.

Deceased Name: Jennifer Dawn Bigley Sanders - Pamela Casto Hamilton - Car-truck wreck kills mother, daughter near Fair Bluff

        A 49-year-old woman and her 26-year-old daughter were killed Thursday afternoon in the crash of a car, driven by the mother, that abruptly turned left in front of a passing 18-wheel grain truck just east of Fair Bluff.

        Highway Patrol Trooper Gene Nance said Pamela Casto Hamilton, 49, of Dave Meares Road, Cerro Gordo, died at the scene in the 2:19 p.m. crash. Jennifer Dawn Bigley Sanders of the 11100 block of U.S. 76, Fair Bluff, died at a Loris, S.C., hospital.

        Sanders' husband, Billy Ray Sanders Jr., 27, and their 1-year-old daughter, Leann Ray Sanders, were injured. Both were released from a Myrtle Beach, S.C., hospital during the weekend. The child was in a child-restraint seat, Nance noted.

No turn signal

        The double-fatality wreck raised the number killed on Columbus County's roads this year to nine, eight of them in rural wrecks, and one in Tabor City.

        Nance said the truck driver, Shula Gene Sellers, 31, of Old Stake Road, Chadbourn, said he saw a 1997 Ford car slowing in front of him as the vehicles headed west on U.S. 76, near the intersection of Ice Plant Road.

        Nance said Sellers told him he moved to the left to pass the car, and the car – not using a turn signal – abruptly turned left toward a private driveway in the 11100 block of U.S. 76, the home of the Sanders couple. The truck was traveling an estimated 55 mph, and was loaded with grain. The truck is owned by T&L Transport with a N.C. 410 South, Chadbourn, address.

Helicopters

        Nance said it didn't appear any of the victims were trapped. The child was moved to the Myrtle Beach hospital from Loris, and Billy Ray Sanders Jr. was moved to the beach facility from the Loris hospital by helicopter, the trooper added.

        A rescue helicopter was called to the scene, but was not used to transport any of the injured.

        Maria Sellers, 34, a passenger in the truck, and Sellers were not injured in the crash.

        Nance said the impact of the truck hitting the driver's side of the car knocked the car into a ditch, and the truck eventually stopped in a ditch beyond the point of impact.

 STAGE  IV  LUNG  CANCER  METASTATIC  TO  BRAIN

    OK, folks.  I  should be fertilizer sometime before June, 2012.  More probably, before May.

    So, in three  months or so, this is all that will exist of me. 

    So, I'm dead and you're not.  I'm cool with that.  Have a good life, whoever you are, wherever you are, whenever you are.

Who would these fardels bear,

    To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

    But that the dread of something after death,

    The undiscover'd country from whose bourn

    No traveller returns, puzzles the will

    And makes us rather bear those ills we have

    Than fly to others that we know not of?

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow

Between the desire

And the spasm

Between the potency

And the existence

Between the essence

And the descent

Falls the Shadow

Source: Bauer- Turner Funeral Home, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, March 2012

Byron James “Jimmy” Hinderlong of Wayne, New Jersey died on Sunday, March 25, 2012. 

Jimmy was born in Miltonsburg, Ohio (population 29), a small and very rural farming town located in south eastern Ohio. He was raised by his mother Maida and his grandparents. His grandparents owned three small farms in Miltonsburg where they raised beef cattle and later his grandparents purchased the country store in the center of town. It was the only store within sixty miles. Jimmy and his family truly lived off of the land. Everything they ate was grown on their own farm, including their beef, and Jimmy would hunt squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs and deer as well. His mother and grandmother would can and cold pack everything he brought home. His home was the first one in town to be outfitted with indoor plumbing and electricity. He also saw the first street lights in town installed near his home and he recalls a man coming each evening to turn them on and then come back again in the morning to turn them off. Jimmy attended classes at a one room schoolhouse until entering high school. He went to Woodsfield High School and graduated with the Class of 1952. 

Jimmy joined the U.S. Army in 1955 and after training he was assigned to the Missle Division. He served at Fort Leonard Hood in Missouri, White Sands Missle Proving Grounds in New Mexico, and at Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook, NJ. He was eventually stationed in Wayne, at the NIKE Missile Base off of Rt. 23 and at the Radar Base which was located on Alps Road. He was honorably discharged as a Corporal in 1961. While in the Army, Jimmy rented a room from a family in Pompton Plains. He was introduced to a cute girl from Wayne named Gloria Gailey. They soon fell in love and married on August 1, 1959 at the Mountain View Methodist Church in Wayne by the Rev. Rhorbach. They honeymooned at Niagara Falls, NY and have enjoyed over fifty two years together. 

After his service he worked for A&C Paving in Pompton Plains. He later worked for the Grimal Excavating Company in Montville before retiring in 1991 after suffering a severe heart attack. 

Jimmy was a true outdoorsman and to say he enjoyed hunting would be an understatement. He was an original member of the Red Barn Hunting Club in the Catskills since 1956, as well as the South Gate Hunting Club at Smoke Rise in Kinnelon, and a Past President of the Deer Run Hunting Club in Branchville, NJ.

He was the loving husband to Gloria (Gailey) Hinderlong; loving father of Lisa Inzalaco of Wayne, and Bryon Hinderlong and his wife Michelle of Oak Ridge, NJ, and Bryon’s step-daughter; Nicole Yatsonsky of California. 

Friends may visit with the family at the Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne, on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 from 2-4 & 7-9 PM. Funeral Services will be held at 10 AM on Wednesday at the funeral home. 

A graveside service is planned for 11 AM on Friday March 30, 2012 at the Miltonsburg Cemetery in Miltonsburg, Ohio, where Jimmy will be buried with his mother.

        Richard or Rich as he was known to family and friends was born Sept, 17, 1953, to Elizabeth (Staley) Hoffman of New Cumberland and the late William Merle Hoffman.

        Besides his father, he was also preceded in death by a sister, Sondra Marlene Price.

        For 38 years Richard was married literally to the girl next door who was his one true love Debra Gay (Martin) Hoffman. Together they built a handsome rustic log home and there raised two beautiful daughters Jennifer (Jay) Sanner and Beth (Ged) Walsh. Besides his loving mother, Elizabeth, he is also survived by three adoring sisters, Carol Pellegino of Sunrise, Florida, Merrill (Bob) Balderson of Elkins, W.Va., and Heidi (John) Adkins of Chester, W.Va. Richard loved being with family that includes many cousins, 14 nieces and nephews; eight great nieces and nephews.

        A lifetime resident of New Cumberland, Richard started his musical training at the age of ten with a guitar inherited from his father. He continued learning and performing throughout his life. From garage rock bands to a variety of high school bands and instruments, music was never far from Richard.

        A 1971 graduate of Oak Glen High School, he continued his musical interests beyond his youth. He helped to develop and performed as a lead vocalist and musician in the locally popular dance band "Court Street" for 15 years. Richard's true calling, however, was Bluegrass music, and he was a member and performer in the "Appalachian Folk Music Club" for many years. Finally, "Lonesome Heart," formed in 1993 showcased Richard's full talent. It was said that he was the man who wore many hats as he was a vocalist, booking agent as well as musician for the band that entertained audiences near and far with live performances as well as radio broadcasts and recorded works.

        Richard knew no strangers and had an outstretched hand and a kiss for the ladies whether at a family gathering, a performance or a stroll through the sale at Rogers. He was proud to be a steelworker and was employed by Arcelor Mittal (Weirton Steel) for 40 years finishing as a Gang Leader of General Labor. Richard was a member of the Independent Steel Workers Union as well as an avid supporter of the Tomlinson Run Park Foundation.

        Besides his musical interests, Rich enjoyed woodworking and being outdoors. He loved his family's land and spent many hours on the hill riding his tractors. He also was a gifted natural artist and created works in various meda [sic–media] including sketches and paintings. Rich's interests were vast and only overshadowed by his charm, talent and captivating sense of humor.

        To honor Richard his family has established the Richard N. Hoffman Musical Endowment to fund musical projects and education for future generations.

        Visitation will be held at the Nixon Funeral Home, New Cumberland, W.Va., tonight, Monday, June 11, 6-8 p.m and Tuesday , June 12, 2-8 p.m. with funeral services at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 13, 2012, at the funeral home.

Jim Knox, 81

Pharmacist

        James Ernest Knox, Jr., 81, of Burlington, Colorado, died peacefully Monday morning, March 19th, at Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital. Jim was born Wednesday, December 10, 1930, to James Ernest and Laura (Williams) Knox in Fort Morgan. He was a graduate of Fort Morgan High School, after which he attended the University of Colorado, earning a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree.

        Jim worked in a drugstore since the age of 13, and purchased his own store, W.B. Drug in Burlington in 1963. Jim married Beverly Lee Whetstine on June 17, 1951. They had four children, Randy J. Knox, (Nikki), Jamie Lynn Reed (Steve), Kevin R. Knox, (Bonita), and Heide Leigh Ridnour, (Tim). Jim has nine grandchildren, Michael Hertneky, (Crystal), Sheena Johnson, Kirra Collins, (Tyler), Randy J. Knox, Jr., Harper Reed, (Hiromi), Dylan Reed, (Sarah), Cole Ridnour, Kile Ridnour and Kory Ridnour. He has four great grandchildren, Tallon and Charisma Johnson and Courtney and Brittney Hertneky. Jim loved his family and took great joy in his grandchildren, whose accomplishments during their growing years were always proudly shared with his friends.

        He took such great pride in his store, W.B. Drug, especially after Lee’s death in 1989. Purchased in 1963, it became an important part of Burlington’s business community, especially during the holiday seasons.

Everyone remembers Jim’s fantastic parade floats, the Crazy Days sidewalk sales, grab bags and the Christmas Open House and Christmas Eve party at W.B. Drug. Jim was also an integral part of the Chamber of Commerce and many city organizations; the Carousel, Old Town and the schools.

        Jim loved to “dress the occasion” and more than a few will recall his crazy outfits he would don at the drop of a hat to promote this event or that holiday.

        Of course, motorcycles were also a great love of Jim’s. He looked forward to his annual pilgrimages to Sturgis, letting his hair down and just having a great time. He lived for Harley “stuff,” and his beloved motorcycles and riding them.

        He is survived by his children and their spouses, nine grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, one brother-in-law, Robert Johnson, and a host of friends, who will always treasure their memories of Jim.

        Memorial services will be held Saturday, March 24, at the Burlington United Methodist Church, 290 13th St., Burlington, Colorado, at 11 a.m. A private inurnment will be held at a later time.
