    Clarksville (Special)--Funeral services were held at First Presbyterian Church here Friday afternoon for Lt. Alvin Y. Tillman, Jr. 21, husband of the former Miss Isobel Farrier here. He was killed with 10 others last Sunday night in the crash of the Army transport plane he was piloting near his base at Sedalia, Mo. Interment was made in Clarksville Cemetery.

    A descendant of the Clark family which founded this place, Lt. Tillman was born at Wright City, Okla., the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Y. Tillman, now living at Menard. He graduated last January from the Eagle Pass Army Flying School, receiving his wings and commission, and he married shortly afterwards.

    Surviving, in addition to his wife and parents, are two sisters, Misses Sadie and Margaret Tillman of Menard, and a brother, Frank, stationed with the Army somewhere in California.
