The other two victims were Donald Headings and Ray Kropf of Oregon.
Funeral services for young Hostetler took place here on Sunday, March 23. His father, John Hostetler and grandfather, L. C. Hostetler, were in Florida at the time of the tragedy, but returned here for the funeral. Also present were a brother, Roy Hostetler, and two sisters, Mrs. David Eash and Mrs. Roy Headings, all from the state of Oregon. Other survivors include the maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kaufman of Shelbyville.
