Plymouth Man Is Killed In Auto Crash Saturday
 
Edwin A. Garrett, 48, of New Plymouth was killed instantly early Saturday 
morning when the car he was driving crashed into the back of a truck two miles 
southeast of Payette on Highway 52.
 
The accident occurred about 1:30 a. m. and Garretts' car was east bound when 
it hit a stalled truck on the highway, according to sheriff Ray Stephens who 
investigated the accident.
 
The truck was driven by Irvin E. Stump of San Pablo, California.  The truck 
had gone into the ditch Friday afternoon when its load of plywood from 
Portland had shifted breaking the binder chain and tipping it over and 
spilling the load.
 
Stump was injured in the accident and taken to the Ontario hospital where he 
remained until Sunday.
 
The spilled plywood was cleaned up Friday afternoon and the truck lifted from 
the barrow pit preparatory to being towed away when the car driven by Garrett 
struck it.
 
Payette county corner Gifford Shaffer called an investigation jury in the 
matter Tuesday, but the nine-man group recessed until Thursday afternoon when 
they will again sit in on the case.
 
Mr. Garrett was born February 21, 1911 in Kennewick, Washington.  He moved to 
the Payette and New Plymouth area three years ago.  He was employed as a 
bartender and musician at Joe's Club in Payette at the time of his death.
 
He is survived by his wife Hannah Flock Garrett of New Plymouth and his mother 
Mrs. Ocie Garrett of Payette.  He was the brother of Roy, Harold and Robert 
Garrett, all of Portland; Mrs. C. B. Clifton of Eureka, California; a sister 
Mrs. Gerald Horn, Fruitland; nine step-grandchildren.
 
Funeral services were held at 2 p. m. Tuesday at the New Plymouth Shaffer 
memory Chapel with the Rev. William Clark officiating.  Interment was at Park 
View in New Plymouth.
