Flight 242 service at New Hope Baptist Church - The Dallas New Era

Flight 242 Traveling Display of mounted news articles and photos of the crash. The display can be viewed from March 27 through April 8 at the Maud P. Ragsdale Public Library at 1815 Hiram-Douglasville Highway.The passing of four decades since the crash in 1977 has done little to dull the memory of that day for many friends, families of victims, and survivors. New Hope Memorial Flight 242, Inc. is actively working toward raising funds for the construction of a permanent monument to preserve the memory of those who lost their lives and to honor the survivors and first responders. And Paulding County has dedicated a site for the monument at the edge of New Hope Cemetery, a short distance from the crash site.New Hope Memorial’s President Cherry Waddell said the price tag of a permanent memorial near the site of the crash has risen to about $300,000 and thus far about $22,000 has been raised. She said it may take about four to five years to reach their goal.As with many such accidents, several factors conspired to bring down the Southern Airways DC-9 on that April day in 1977. Captain Bill McKenzie and co-pilot Lyman Keele were advised of thunderstorms and possible tornadoes along their general route prior to their departure from Huntsville, but not subsequently updated of the fact that the cells were formed into a squall line.The crew was apparently misled by their onboard weather radar and attempted to pick out a path through the cells. As the flight descended from its cruise altitude of 17,000 feet to 14,000 feet near Rome, it apparently entered a thunderstorm cell and encountered a massive amount of water and hail. The hail was intense enough to break the aircraft's windshield. Both engines were damaged and underwent flameout.The crew, unable to restart the engines, was now gliding down un- powered while simultaneously trying to find an emergency landing field within range.As the aircraft ran out of options, th...

History of funeral homes in Cobb gets a closer look during 'Remember When Club' - MDJOnline.com

Mayes Ward Dobbins, Southern Cremations & Funerals at Cheatham Hill in Marietta, Castellaw Funeral Home in Smyrna and Bellamy Funeral Home in Hiram. Among the insights he shared were changes in trends in the funeral industry.“I’ve only been around 25 years, but stuff’s really changed over that time period, especially flowers. Used to be you’d get hundreds — now it’s rare you get more than 10. Cremation, I think, was like 3 percent when I started, it’s now like 65 percent or so,” White said.A 45-year veteran of the industry, Chuck Johnson, owner and funeral director of Collins Funeral Home and Marietta Funeral Home & Crematory, said that while the trade was once a 24 hours a day, seven days a week job, it’s not as bad today for those still in the line of work.“Go home, get in bed at midnight, get back up at 2 a.m. If you’re not willing to do that, you shouldn’t be in this business,” Johnson said. “Now, we run schedules, and it’s not quite as bad as it used to be. Back in the earlier days, you had one shift — on, all the time, because when you got home, you’re very likely to be called back in to go back in to do what you needed to do.”But the gathering of funeral directors was far from doom-and-gloom, as the four shared several funny stories from their years of work. Kennesaw resident Howard Gantt’s experience began in the early 1950s with work at several funeral homes before he bought Hay Funeral Home in 1965, renaming it Hay-Gantt Funeral Home. He and Johnson operated that funeral home before combining it with Collins Funeral Home in 2000.“We used to pay gravediggers to get a grave open $25, and we couldn’t pay him until after the service, otherwise, they’d pay him ahead of time, and he’d show up drunk. Or he wouldn’t show up at all,” Gantt said, which drew big laughs.Typically held the fourth Friday of the month at 10:30 a.m., the Remember When Club will take November and December off due to the meeting dates’ proximity to the holidays, and is expected to resume in January.
