FRUITLAND CHILD KILLED IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENT SATURDAY
 
The whole community was saddened Saturday morning, when the tragic word came 
of the death of little Norma Hill.  She had been sent to the store in a hurry 
by her mother and was hurrying across the pavement to Rankin's store.  She 
stepped from in front of the Texico gas truck going east driven by Warren 
Dorathy of Payette.
 
Mr. Dorathy could not stop the truck in time to avoid striking her, and the 
right headlight struck her in the head.  She was picked up by Ernest Silkett, 
who was in the barber shop and rushed to the Ontario Hospital, but she died 
while enroute.  Mr. Dorothy was exonerated from all blame, however as it was 
termed an unavoidable accident.
 
Norma Lee Hill was born in Fruitland, May 7th, 1923 and had lived here 
practically all her life.  She attended school here the past 2 years.  She was 
a kind and lovable child and was loved by all who knew her.  She is survived 
by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hill, 2 brothers, Dean and Leland and two 
sisters, Wanda and Delores.
 
Funeral services were held from the Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 3 
o'clock conducted by Rev. Glenn Garner.  The floral offerings were many and 
beautiful.  Interment was made in Park View Cemetery in New Plymouth.
