Springfield, IL— Henry Higgins, letterman football star of University of Illinois and former senior president of Springfield High School, died on Friday night in a car crash. He was (no age listed in story, but this information would need to be sought out and inserted here).

Higgins died in a two-car crash on the corner of US 63 and Route NN in Lincoln County. (Whether he was pronounced dead at the scene or later on the hospital, this would be the ideal place to put that unprovided information. Did he die immediately? did he go to the hospital first? What time was his death?)

The lifelong Springfield resident had recently earned his real estate license, and was working out of West and Haver, Springfield. (It would be nice to find a quote from one of his co-workers to put here, perhaps something that complimented his personality/ work ethic, etc.)

Father Ralph Green will be officiating services held (time?) on Tuesday at the Newman Center. (It should be noted exactly what time people are allowed to visit right here!). Friends may call at the Restwell Funeral Home for 7 p.m.-10 p.m. on Monday.

Survivors include his wife Cloris, his parents Ralph and Amy Higgins, who also lived in Springfield; his sister Ruth of Birmingham, Ala.; and his brother Russell of St. Louis.
