Goldendale Mourns Death of Local Boy Who Loses Life Trying To Find Missing Plane<br>
<br>
Goldendale was saddened last week when it learned of the death of Lt. Bruce Wayne <A title="Spalding Surname Facts" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(175,188,34) 1px double; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.ancestry.com/facts/spalding-family-history.ashx" target=_blank><A>Spalding Surname Facts</A><br>

Lt. Spalding's plane was found by rescue crews on a 3500 foot mountain, approximately 50 miles west and a little north of Por
tland, according to information received.<br>
<br>
It was stated that the plane had apparently been flying straight and level when it struck about 300 feet below the crest of one of the highest ridges in that part of the coast range, and that there was no evidence of engine failure, carburetor icing or lack of fuel.<br>
<br>
The wreckage was first sighted, according to the Portland Oregonian, by Marvin E. Kinchen, log scaler for the Oregon-American Lumber company at 7:45 a.m. Friday morning. It was stated that Lt. Spalding had taken off from Portland air base at 6 p.m. D.S.T. Thursday evening, and was to have returned before dark. When he failed to return, the search was organized, which finally located the plane.<br>
<br>
Well known to everyone in Goldendale, Lt. Spalding was born in Goldendale on May 27, 1923, and attended high school here, graduating in 1941.<br>
<br>
Soon after graduation he began working in the <A title="Vancouver Surname Facts" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(175,188,34) 1px double; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.ancestry.com/facts/vancouver-family-history.ashx" target=_blank><A>Vancouver Surname Facts</A><br>
