DOUGLASS MAN IS KILLED IN CRASH 

Charles Purdy Fatally Injured Last Night When Car Skids In Gravel 

Charles Purdy, about 40, of Douglass, was fatally injured late last night when 
the car, which he was driving, overturned on a curve, 13 miles east of 
Douglass, inflicting internal injuries from which he died a short time later in 
a Winfield hospital.

The Douglass man was returning home alone from Atlanta when the car skidded in 
some loose gravel at a curve and overturned, pinning the victim under the 
wreckage. He was found a few minutes later by Frank Fox, of Douglass, and a Mr. 
Hatton of El Dorado. Purdy was rushed to the Winfield hospital where it was 
found he had received cuts on ths head and shoulders.

Mr. Purdy was a truck driver and was well known in that community. He is 
survived by his widow, three sons, Victor, Laverne and Francis, all of 
Douglass, and his mother, Mrs. Fannie J. Purdy, also of Douglass.

The body was taken to the Irwin Funeral Home at Douglass, where funeral 
arrangements will be announced later today.
