Dead were: Paul J. Kennon, 36, Atlanta businessman, and W. P. Ward of Griffin. Ga. The Trl-Pacer single engine Piper in which the men were flying took off the night of Aug. 3 from Knoxville en route to Atlanta. The rescue party started out with the bodies Tuesday about 3 a.m. and the last body was brought out that night at 7:40. The almost five-hour journey took rescuers through dense, jungle-like under growth. A number of area men partici pated in the rescue, including Don Carter of Townson Funeral Home, Olin Stratton and Edwin Bristol of Andrews and Joe Collins of Nanta hala. Civil Air Patrol planes and a number of private crafts last week | began an air search of this area in an attempt to locate the missing plane. Richard Parker, an Andrews barber, and Karl Rowan, manager of Blue Ridge Electric Co-Op in Young Harris, Ga., spotted the crashed plane Sunday afternoon at 3. They were flying in Mr. Parker's Cessna 140. Another Andrews pilot, Edgar Wood, circled for houis the area in which the craft was down. This was to allow rescuers moving in cn foot to locate the craft. A 10-man party first reached the scene Sunday night about 7. Joe Fowler of Murphy, one of the first to reach the scene, said had the party been to the left or right for 10 feet, the plane could not have been seen because of the thick un derbrush. After reaching the area, rescuers started a big bon fire to guide others to the scene. This initial rescue party was directed to the spot by two-way radio from the ground to Mr. Wood's plane over head. Later radio contact was maintain ed from the scene to Joanna Bald with Forest Ranger Harold Hatch ett and District Forester Bunch Nngents operating units on the i Baid. Circling planes were also I in contact with the Knoxville con ; trol tower. I Another local man going in with Ihc- initial rescue party was Neil Enlowe of Ivie Funeral Home. A ' Graham County Game Warden and J a CAP member were also in the I party. It was reported Mr. Ward was wearing a $2,000 diamond ring I which was also recovered. Bodies of the two men were sent | to Atlanta. Th U. S. Forestry Service in Gra ham County furnished food, equip ment and communications, working around the clock until the bodies were brought out. Graham County Forest Ranger John McKeldery also participated in the rescue. Sheriff Jack F. Shuler from an Air Force helicopter late Sunday afternoon inspected the wreckage. An initial plan to remove the bodies by slings lowered from the helicopter was abandoned. Marion Williams, a Robbinsvtlle resident employed by a Pittsburgh, copper firm, described the search: "We found the plane in the rough est part of the country. It looked like it had come straight down. 1 saw the motor buried level with the ground. It didn't burn at all. "It was pretty terrible. I don't like to see things like that. The plane went together like one of those accordions and fouled the men in the wreckage. I'm sure they were killed instantly. "It wasn't much trouble identi fying them? we found all their papers and Kennon's pilot license and all that." The wreckage was not scattered, but great difficulty was encountered in removing the bodies from the plane. The terrain into which the plane crashed is among the roughest in the western area.
