"WAXAHACHIE, Texas, March 2"

"With his casket draped with the flag of America, which he served in the World War, the body of Walter Clark, 36, who died on Padre Island, making a frantic search for his brother Harvey, later found unharmed, was buried in a Waxahachie Cemetery Friday.

Commercial fishermen, the Clark brothers were angling in the Gulf, several miles from Corpus Christi. A windstorm blew up, separating them. In the excitement, Walter Clark thought he saw his brother in a skiff, buffeted by high waves. In efforts to reach his brother, running along the island, then rowing in his boat, he overtaxed his heart and died.

Surviving him are four brothers Ed, Ewell and Harvey of Corpus Christi and Floyd of Waxahachie, a garage man."
