              Arn M. Foskey and Nephew, Kittrell Foskey, The Two Dead
 Arn M. Foskey, of East Dublin, and a nephew, Kittrell Foskey, were killed and 
two others critically injured in a collision between a trailer to a log truck 
on which they were riding and an automobile at Turkey Creek south of here this 
morning.
 The injured are M. A. Foskey, son of Arn Foskey, and Delma Foskey, another 
nephew. They are in the Claxton Hospital.
 M. A. Foskey received head, neck, and chest injuries and Delma Foskey, hip 
and internal injuries.
 Among those riding in the automobile were Rev. C. M. Ledbetter, Methodist 
pastor at Glenwood, who with two other Glenwood men were enroute to the state 
Democratic convention in Macon. They were Jack Towns and Charles Ennis. None 
of the three were hurt.
 Deputy Sheriff E. E. Clark, who investigated, said the accident occurred on a 
curved road near the Turkey Creek bridge.
 Deputy Clark said the truck appeared to have been on its side of the road and 
that the car had skidded for some distance. The men on the truck were thrown 
from the open cab on which they were riding. Both the trailer and the 
automobile  were badly damaged. The truck and trailer are owned by E. B. 
Mackey, Dublin lumber man.
 The truck was driven by Tillman Hester, who was uninjured, and the automobile 
by Mr. Ennis, it was reported.
 Another man, Freeman Foskey, brother of Arn Foskey, was also in the truck, 
but was likewise unhurt.
 Two ambulances from the Holland Funeral Home were rushed to the scene, and 
brought the dead and the injured to the city. The accident occured about 8 
o'clock.
 Services for Arn Foskey, 62, will be held Thursday morning at 11 o'clock at 
Carter's Chapel, with the Rev. Raleigh Johnson od Scott officiating.
 Surviving him are his wife, two sons, M. A. Foskey, who was one of the 
injured, and Sessom Foskey; a daughter, Mrs. Charles Horton of Dublin; three 
brothers, Jack, Freeman, and Ira Foskey, and a sister, Miss Mary Will Foskey, 
all of near here. Several grandchildren also survive.
 Pallbearers will be J. P. Jernigan, W. L. Lake, Hugh Thigpen, E. B. Warnock, 
O. D. Cullens and E. B. Mackey.
 Services for Kittrell Foskey, who was a nephew of Arn Foskey, will likely be 
held Thursday also, probably at Silver Leaf Church. Surviving him are his 
mother a brother, Delma Foskey, the other man injured, and a sister, Laura 
Foskey, all of near Dublin. He was a son of the late Manning Foskey, who was 
run over and killed by an automobile in East Dublin about two years ago. His 
mother had since married Freeman Foskey, one of the two on the truck uninjured.
