Total persons on board was 44. Eight crewmen, and 36 passengers, including 3 civilians. The search was dubbed "Operation Mike", a name taken from the missing plane's commander, 1st Lt. Kyle E.

Baughman, Forest Estus - 2007
Rev. F. E. Baughman is the son of Albie Parker Baughman and Martha Elizabeth (Roberts) Baughman. His twin brother, Horace Festus Baughman, preceded him in death in 1952. He married Vera Allene Henderson on November 13, 1937 in Tioga, Grayson County, Texas.
Rev. Baughman was pastor of the Rolling Hills Baptist Church in Lancaster, Texas for many years. Rev. Baughman and Bro. Marvin Earnheart were present when the church was organized in the fall of 1947. Rev. S. F. McKee was called to be the pastor, but after a few weeks, he resigned to go back to seminary, so the church called Bro. Baughman as their pastor. The church was known as Gospel Tabernacle Baptist Church, and land was donated by Mrs. Annie Ball to erect a church building. Prior to this time the church had met in the home of Mrs. Thomas Mitchell.
In 1953 a new church auditorium was completed, and the church name was changed to Baptist Tabernacle. The church grew from a small handful to over 400 members, and on September 20, 1964, they moved the church to its present location. Once again the church changed its name to Rolling Hills Baptist Church.
Dr. F. E. Baughman and his church were supporters of the World Baptist Fellowship and Bible Baptist Seminary in Arlington, Texas. He served on the Board of Directors for the seminary and was also one of the founders and directors of Minnetonka Christian Camp in Clayton, Oklahoma.
He was affectionately known as "The Sheriff" at Minnetonka Christian Camp, and for many years, he preached the last message at the end of the week when he was at the camp.
Bro. Baughman spend many years of his ministry showing others the way to eternal life with Christ in Heaven. He remained firm and decisive in his convictions and is a faithful servant of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
He is indeed truly missed among fellow Christians here on earth but now has his home in Heaven. Until we meet again.

AWAY
I cannot say and I will not say
that he is dead! He is just away,
With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
it needs must be, since he linger there
And you, to you, who the widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of there as the love of here.
Think of him as the same I say,
He is not dead he is just away.

Another Murder - J.J. Reasor shot eight times by Craig Herndon
A cruel, bloody murder committed Sunday -- murderer at large.
The tide of blood that had momentarily stopped in Cooke County broke out afresh Sunday night. Esquire J.J. Reasor was shot Sunday evening by Craig Herndon.
This news was a stunning blow to our people. Mr. Reasor was well known and popular, living in the southeast part of the county near Collinsville. He was a good citizen, a companionable and pleasant gentleman of the old Virginia style.
The cause of the bloody deed is hard to ascertain with any degree of certainty. As near as we can arrive at it, Herndon, who had married a stepdaughter of Mr. Reasor in Virginia, had trouble with his wife. They lived near Mr. Reasor and Herndon must have blamed him with part of the trouble. At any rate, Herndon had been gone for some time and returned Sunday Morning. He came over to Reasor's Sunday afternoon and seemed very friendly. They talked for two hours and finally Herndon drew his pistol and shot Reasor through the head from behind. He then followed him up and shot him seven times more, reloading his pistol and firing two new shells. He then went to where his wife was, at a neighbor's house. But he did not see his wife. He left immediately (before he could be) arrested. Sheriff Ware went there Sunday night and the pursuit is being vigorously pushed.
The sheriff sent out the following circular:
$100.00 reward will be paid for the arrest and delivery to me in any jail in the United States of the following person:
A white man named Craig Herndon, about 30 years old; rather fair complexion; dark hair, tinged with gray; very high and prominent forehead; dark eyes; dark, sandy mustache, but generally has them dyed black; about 5 ft. 7 in. high, will weight 155 or 160 pounds; has a ridge down the center of one thumb nail; toes on both feet inclined to be crumped; had on when last seen a lead or dove colored suit of clothes, cut-a-way coat; straw hat; gaiter shoes; white shirt with black dots; had in his possession a 38-caliber pistol.
The remains were buried Monday evening with Masonic honors. The whole county was roused and angered by the cruel murder and the man will no doubt be arrested and tried quickly.
It is said that Mrs. Herndon's step-father sent her to this country to get away from her worthless husband, and that he followed her here and through Mr. Reasor's efforts they were reconciled.
Herndon is said to be a worthless character and will no doubt resist arrest.
There seems to be a determination among our people to see that murderers are punished, and if he can be brought before a Cooke County jury he will no doubt get justice. Of course our people read the newspapers, but that does not make them either prejudiced or corrupt.
We hope our officers may be able to bring him in. There is no danger of mob law, but if he is proven guilty before a Cooke County jury he will not escape without adequate punishment.
E.P. Hill and R.P. Blackburn returned from there about night. Mr. Hill says the funeral was very largely attended. He says Mrs. Herndon told him her husband was harsh and cruel to her and to her children.
Mr. Hill thinks Herndon is a man somewhat of the Crews Style.
