Three
killed in early morning wreck on Camp Wanica road
It was two days before school started for 2006 that the group of students
and former students took off for the lake, to play a little football and
goof off after their shifts at the various restaurants. But the night ended
tragically when two of the three cars full of teenagers and young adults
crashed on FM 637, informally known as Camp Wanica Road, in southeastern
Navarro County, killing three.
Laura Suaste, 18, who had graduated from
Dawson High School just two months earlier;
Benjamin Mora, 16, of Corsicana High; and
Antonio Moreno, 20, of Lee School of
Choice, died in the early morning car wreck Aug. 8.
The tragic incident cast a shadow over the first weeks of school, especially
in the small Dawson high school, where Suaste had been a student leader. She
was remembered at Dawson’s 2006 Homecoming, where the former homecoming
queen was supposed to have crowned her successor.
A Department of Public Safety report put the blame for the wreck on
excessive speed and unsafe driving, but no charges have been filed in the
case.

Willie Russell
Feb 6, 1905 - Aug 11, 2006
Willie Russell, 101, of Kerens passed away Friday, August 11, 2006, in Kerens at the Kerens Care Center.
Visitation will be from noon to 8 p.m. with family there from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, August 15 at Ross and Johnson Mortuary. Memorial services will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Goodlow with the Reverends Ernest Betts and Nathan Carter officiating. Interment will follow at the Kerens Cemetery.
Pallbearers will be Dale Crawford, Bruce Franklin, Ted Stovall, Jeffrey Betts, Johnnie Betts, and Ross Washington.
Mr. Russell was born February 6, 1905, in Pelican, Louisiana. His parents moved to Texas when Willie was seven years old. Willie started working for the late Nace Crawford at the age of 12, and has remained a part of the Crawford family his entire life. He was part of the Ickey Crawford family for many years; and for the past 15 years, has been an "associate grandfather" of the Russ Crawford family. With the birth of Sidney Robertson, Russ’ granddaughter, Willie has helped with and been a part of the Crawfords for six generations.
Willie worked for years as a carpenter’s helper, but will be remembered most as doing yard work around Kerens – he could always be found mowing yards in a pair of kakis, a nice shirt, and a necktie, and always had a bounce in his step and was humming a song. He was "Uncle Willie" to most everyone in Kerens. He proudly served as the oldest member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Goodlow.
Mr. Russell is survived by Russ and Lanelle Crawford of Kerens, Cody, Courtney and Sidney Robertson of Athens, Jeremy and Cadey Gillert of Chandler, and Kelley Crawford of Huntsville; numerous descendents of the Nace Crawford family from all over Texas; great-nephew Alva and Elinor Jackson of Dallas, great nephew Willie B. Perkins of Dallas, great-niece Lillie and L. V. Daniels of Dallas; and many, many friends.
