Effort To Save Dog Proved Fatal: Owner Died Last Night

   Roudy Nichols 46, died last night at the Frances Berrien hospital, as a
result of being struck by an auto last Thursday near Coosa, in this county ,
when he was attempting to save his dog, which had leaped in front of 
the car. The auto was driven by Quinn McArver, a well-known citizen of the
county, and no blame whatever is said to be attached to him, as the auto was
being driven at a moderate rate of speed and he could not stop it in time to
avoid the fatal accident.
   Mr. Nichols has been unconscious ever since the accident and little hope of
his recover was entertained from the time he was struck. An operation was
performed Sunday afternoon, in an effort to save him.
   Surviving relatives are the widow, who before the marriage was Miss Lou
Abrams; three sons, Curtis, Wyman and Wiley, and three daughters, Jennie, Pearl
and Eva. Andy and Jack Nichols of Rome, and Wiley Nichols of Amarillo, Texas,
his brothers also survive him, and his sisters, Mrs. W. A. Henna, (Hennon) Mrs.
W. E. Wingard and Lottie Mathis, of Floyd County, and Jennie Rash and Mrs. Mary
Satcher of Amarillo,Texas.
   The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock from Pisgah church,
with Rev. Max Cook officiating and interment will be in the church cemetery.
Funeral arrangements are in charge of the Howell-Cantrell Company. The death of
Mr. Nichols will cause deep regret among all who knew him and its circumstances
serve to make it peculiarly sad.
