      2 Killed In Crash at Springhill

      Times News Service

      SPRINGHILL - Two teenagers were killed late Saturday when their car pulled into the path of a large tank-truck about two miles east of here on State Hwy. 157.

      Dead on arrival at Springhill General Hospital was Livia Ann Wood, 16, of Springhill. The driver of the car, John Gibbs, 16, of Sarepta died in the emergency room at Schumpert Hospital in Shreveport about two hours later.

      State Trooper Phillip Fields said the couple evidently pulled from a parish road into the path of an Earl Gibbons Transport Co. truck driven by Kenneth D. Penny, 38, of Springhill. Penny reportedly was not injured.

      The two deaths brings to 16 the traffic fatalities recorded within a 15-mile radius of Springhill this year.

      Funeral services for Livia Ann Wood will be at 12 o'clock noon Monday in the First Baptist Church in Springhill with the Rev. Harry Attebury officiating, assisted by the Rev. Bill Henry. Burial will be in the Springhill Cemetery.

      Miss Wood was a junior at the Springhill High School and a member of the First Baptist Church.

      Survivors include her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Wood; two brothers, Randall Wayne Wood of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., and Daniel Lee Wood of Springhill; a sister, Mechelle Lynne Wood of Springhill; maternal grandmother, Mrs. Gertrude Houck of Springhill and paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan J. Wood of Luling.

      Funeral services for John Daniel Gibbs Jr. will be at 2 p.m. Monday in the New Sarepta Baptist Church with the Rev. Guy Murphrey officiating, assisted by the Rev. L. B. Canterbury. Burial will be in the Old Sarepta Cemetery.

      Survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Gibbs Sr.; a sister, Donna Gibbs of Sarepta; maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Crawford of Sarepta and paternal grandmother, Mrs. W. F. Gibbs of Cullen.
