John Kelly, associate rector of Christ Episcopal Church. He died of a heart attack about 2 p.m. Saturday as the plane in which he was a passenger approached the Macon airport. He was 64. Mr. Haskell was en route to Savannah from New Orleans for a short vacation. He was accompanied on the plane by George F. Hendry, executive assistant division sales manager of the company, and J. S. McKendry, assistant division sales manager. The Sco-Co officials had a short layover in Atlanta where they had lunch. Mr. Haskell's attack came a few seconds after he fastened his safety belt in compliance with instructions from the pilot as they approached the airport at Macon. He was dead on arrival at Macon Hospital. Fox and Weeks Funeral Home brought his body to Savannah, where his daughter Mrs. Hugh Nash of Miami Fla., was en route to join him.
