Joy Dunbar Minton, 82, of Paoli, passed away Monday, June 20, 2016, at her home.  She was born October 12, 1933 in Bedford, IN to Lincoln and Leo Blackburn Dunbar.   She married Benjamin Harold Minton on November 6, 1954 which was the anniversary of their first date, and he survives.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Jayne Purlee Milburn, brother Ty Dunbar and niece Diana Dunbar Briscoe.

Joy graduated from Huron High School with the class of 1951 and was employed by Farlow-Clements Agency where she worked as a secretary and real estate agent and retired in 1995.  She was also a member of Paoli United Methodist Church and Saving Historic Orange County.

Joy and Harold moved to Paoli in 1960 at which time she became a lifelong Paoli Ram fan and Pride of Paoli backer. Thanks to Dave, Bert, and Barry for bringing the Rams into her home when she became unable to attend games and the newspaper for the coverage of the Rams and pictures of the Pride of Paoli.  Anyone who knew Joy knew that she was a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan.

Survivors include:

Husband: Benjamin Harold Minton, Paoli, IN

2 Sons: Matt Minton and wife Sharon, Indianapolis, IN and           Marty Minton and wife Pam, Paoli, IN; 1 daughter, Melanie Flick and husband Bill of Paoli, IN

Conservation Officers Recover Body from Salt Creek

0

Indiana Department of Conservation divers recovered the body of 36-year-old Lloyd Wilson from Salt Creek, south of Oolitic this morning.

An autopsy is being conducted at this time to determine a cause of death.

Lawrence County police are assisting with the investigation.

Lawrence County police received a call of a person struggling in the water of Salt Creek behind a residence located near the 1100 block of Lafayette Avenue in Oolitic just after 10 a.m. The caller reported hearing a splash and someone yelling ‘Help he can’t swim.’

A resident at that home tried to go out to the creek to rescue the man, but wasn’t able to reach him.

Conservation officers recovered Wilson’s body 10:58 a.m. in approximately 4 feet of water.

Officer Jet Quillen, DNR Law Enforcement, says officers are investigating the reasoning for the victim to be in the water at this location and what events could have caused him to go under the surface of the water.drowning-logo

Lawrence County police, Indiana University Health Bedford Hospital ambulance, Coroner Rob Herr, conservation officers and Oolitic Volunteer Fire Department assisted in the recovery.
