                   FUNERAL HELD AUTO VICTIM
           Dewell Keen Laid To Rest After Fatal Accident
 Funeral services for Dewell Keen, 33, East Dublin merchant, were held today 
at 11 o'clock while his wife is still unaware of his death. Mr. Keen died 
Sunday morning following an auto accident Saturday night in the same hospital 
where his wife is confined following a major operation.
 Mr. Keen was struck by an auto driven by Charlie Waller early Saturday night 
as he stepped across the highway near his store in East Dublin. Two cars were 
passing and Mr. Keen is said to have stepped from behind one going from Dublin 
in front of Mr. Waller's car coming in the direction of the city. The accident 
is regarded as unavoidable. Mr. Waller, who was returning from Wrightsville, 
stopped as soon as possible and the injured man, who received a broken leg and 
internal injuries, was rushed to the Claxton hospital.
 He died early Sunday morning, and his wife, who was in the same hospital, 
knew nothing of the accident. Mrs. Keen's condition was said to be excellent 
today, but she has not yet been informed of the tragedy.
 Mr. Waller, who has expressed the deepest regret at the accident, was said to 
be prostrated with grief, although the tragedy is regarded as entirely 
unavoidable.
 Dr. C. D. Graves performed the funeral rites, which were held at Bethlehem 
church today and the Lord Funeral Parlor was in charge of interment.
 The deceased is survived by his wife, one child, also his parents, Mr. and 
Mrs. A. L. Keen, Dublin; thre brothers,  D. C., Cecil, and Paul Keen, Dublin; 
and eight sisters, Mrs. Bertha Harrison, Mrs. O. D. Cullens, Mrs. L. B. Smith, 
Mrs. Dwight Daniel,  and Misses Lois, Retha Mae, Stella, and Christine Keen. A 
host of friends also mourn his passing.
