Coast soldier in Vietnam dies in crash
Florence - Army Pfc. Kenneth Jones, 19, of Dunes City was killed in an army truck accident while on a military mission near Da Nang in Vietnam, according to word received here by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Sudberry of Dunes City.
    The Pentagon, in a telegram to the Sudberrys, said Jones died 6 Mar (1971) when his vehicle went out of control and overturned. He had been in Vietnam since October serving as a truck driver and mechanic. He enlisted 3 Nov 1969.
    Jones lived in the Florence area for 11 years and attended Siuslaw High School for three years where he was a member of the wrestling team.
    Mr. and Mrs. Sudberry are his aunt and uncle and have been his guardians since he was six years old. Other survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Jones of California; a grandmother, Mrs. Nancy Jones of Redding CA, and two sisters, Viola Jones of Eugene and Janet Jones of Dunes City.
    Arrangements for the return of the body are pending. Funeral services are to be announced later.
