Dr. Edwin J. Haster, aged 39, prominent local physician and civic leader, died suddenly about 3:30 Sunday afternoon while on a fishing trip on Fourche River, five miles southeast of Plainview. In company with Thomas Boyers and David Croom, Dr. Haster left here Saturday afternoon on a fishing trip, spending the night in camp on the river. Sunday afternoon the men prepared to break camp. Dr. Haster, who had apparently been in the best of health, seemed to greatly enjoy the brief outing. He was sitting on a cot on the bank of the river, eating an apple, while Mr. Boyers and Mr. Croom were in a boat only a few yards out in the stream taking up a 'trot-line", when stricken. Hearing him groan, the other members of the party rushed to his side. Though he was probably unconscious by the time his companions reached him, the restoratives were promptly used, but without result, and Dr. Hastor expired within two or three minutes. Artificial respiration was tried by Mr. Boyers, but it proved unavailing. (WWW.YellCountyObits.org,Yell County Record Newspaper, Danville, Arkansas, Obituary was published on Oct 1939)

Two men Killed In Car-School Bus Collision Near Here - Two men were killed and several children injured Tuesday when a car and school bus collided head-on about 1 1/2 miles west of Danville on Highway 80. The accident happened about 3:30 p. m. C. M. Haston, 70 and Quenton Keith, 25, both of Waltreak, were dead upon arrival at the Yell County Hospital.
School children admitted to the hospital were Joan Tidwell, 7 Clinton Kimbrough, 7; Rickey Wilson, 10 Billy Donnell, 11; Betty Bowerman, 15; and Betty Pruitt, 15. All were released after treatment for facial cuts and bruises. Raymond Pruitt, driver of the school bus, was treated for cuts and bruises and released.
Pruitt said the car, driven by Keith, was in the middle of the road when he saw it and that it swerved into his path, although he pulled over to the ditch trying to avoid the collision. State Trooper Bob Pritchard, who investigated the wreck credited Pruitt's driving with saving the 30 children on the bus from serious injury or death. The bus traveled 66 feet after the impact, stopping in the ditch but without turning over. The car was knocked 33 feet backwards by the impact and was a total loss.

Dan Havner, 62, born at Dutch Creek and a longtime resident of Yell County and former mayor of Ola, died on Monday, March 13, 2006 in his house in Kansas City, Missouri according to family members. Havner was Ola Mayor from March 1991 through 1994. He also served previously on the Ola City Council. Havner was found dead about 10:30 a. m. on Monday morning by his brother, Kenneth Havner.
According to family members, they said the Jackson County medical examiner indicated Havner died from smoke inhalation due to a fire in his home. The fire was apparently caused by a large box of pictures that Havner was sorting that was next to a gas hot water heater. The acetone in the photos and possibly some cleaning fluid next to the hot water heater apparently caused a flash fire, family members said. They indicated he did extinguish the fire, but the smoke apparently overcame him and his cat in the house. According to the Kansas City Star), they reported in their Monday edition that Germane Friends, a Kansas City Fire Dept. spokesman, said at 10:48 a. m. on March 131, his fire department received a 911 call reporting a house fire and a possible fatality. Kansas City police detectives and the Jackson County medical examiner were called to investigate. Friends said the fire in the home caused mostly smoke damage.
Havners funeral is planned for this Saturday, March 18, at Waltreak Cemetery. A visitation will be held on Saturday morning at Cornwell Funeral Home. He is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Lee Havner of Plainview and has a son, David Havner of the Antarctica, a 1984 graduate of Danville High School, and a daughter, Jennifer Havner of Danville, a 1993 graduate of Danville High School.
