The aircraft is a Beech 35 Bonanza/Debonair series, confusing, but NOT a Sierra. The Sierra is a 24 series.

A Model 33 Debonair/Bonanza (BE33) could be:

35-33 Debonair: (1959) An M35 Bonanza with conventional fin and tailplane, one 225 hp Continental IO-470-J, 233 built.
35-A33 Debonair: (1961) Model 33 with rear side windows and improved interior trim, 154 built.
35-B33 Debonair: (1962-1964) A33 with contoured fin leading edge, N35 fuel tank modifications and P35 instrument panel, 426 built.
35-C33 Debonair: (1965-1967) B33 with teardrop rear side windows, enlarged fin fairing and improved seats, 305 built.
35-C33A Debonair: (1966-1967) C33 with a 285 hp Continental IO-520-B engine and optional fifth seat, 179 built.
D33 Debonair: One S35 modified as a military close-support prototype.
E33 Bonanza: (1968-1969) C33 with improved Bonanza trim, 116 built.
BE33A Bonanza: (1968) E33 with a 285 hp Continental IO-520-B engine, 85 built.
E33B Bonanza: E33 with strengthened airframe and certified for aerobatics.
E33C Bonanza: (1968-1969) E33B with a 285 hp Continental IO-520-B engine, 25 built.
F33 Bonanza: (1970) E33 with deeper rear side windows and minor improvements, 20 built.
F33A Bonanza: (1970-1994) F33 with a 285 hp Continental IO-520-B engine, later aircraft have a longer S35/V35 cabin and extra seats, 821 built.
F33C Bonanza: (1970) F33A certified for aerobatics, 118 built.

I think if I crashed into a grave site (and survived) -- I might consider retirement from flying. What an omen.

Maybe a farm, also.

Yes, its a Debonair, 35-C33
C-GRMK (1965 Beech 35-C33 Debonair C/N CD-967)

The Post S35 was repeating an error by the News that wrote C rather than S,
and easy error to make.
