Ends in Death for Four
In 2-Engine Plane Crash
MILWAUKEE, (AP) A father- and son holiday hunting trip to Canada Friday turned into a flaming air crash death for four persons, including Frederick C. Miller, prominent Milwaukee brewer, civic leader and sports figure.
Miller's son, Frederick Jr., 20, died in the furiously burning plane along with the pilots, Joseph Laird, 39, and his brother Paul, 34, both of Milwaukee.
Miller, 48, a University of Notre Dame football star under the late Knute Rockne, died of injuries several hours after the crash.
The trip was only a few seconds old when the Miller-owned twin-engined plane sputtered and plunged to the ground near a residential area north of Gen. Mitchell Field.
