Two Receive Fatal Injuries In Accident Early Sunday

Funeral services were held this week for two young men who were killed in an automobile accident in
which
six persons were involved near Gilbert Sunday at about 1:30 a.m. and another occupant of the
automobile was
said to be improving after treatment at a Winnsboro sanitarium. Three other persons who were riding in
the
automobile at the time of the mishap received minor injuries and have been returned to their homes.
The dead were: Pfc. William R. Porter, 23, who was at home on a 45-day furlough from the army, and
Albert Eugene
Wyman, 16, son of Dr. P. W. Wyman of Winnsboro.
Porter was killed instantly in the smash-up and young Wyman died of injuries approximately one and
one-half hours
later at a Winnsboro sanitarium to which he had been removed following the wreck, Dr. J. D. Rogers,
Franklin parish
coroner, informed The Sun.
Seriously injured was Miss Mildred Houston, who is employed in Winnsboro, who received lacerations of
the left knee
but a report from a local sanitarium Thursday morning indicated she would not lose the leg. She was
said to be improving.
Two sisters of Miss Houston were also involved in the accident. Mrs. Hazel Dove was released Wednesday
from a hospital
where she had been treated for back injuries. Miss Juanita Houston received minor brusies but was not
hospitalized,
it was said. All three young women were residents of the Swampers community.
The driver of the automobile Henry Albritton, 21, a resident of Wisner, received bruises and a slight
injury to the
chest and was discharged from a hospital here Tuesday. He was recently released after service in the
army.
The accident occurred early Sunday morning when the automobile in which the six persons were returning
to their homes
in the parish crashed into a bridge. It was said they were returning from a night club in a nearby
town.
The funeral of young Wyman whose home is near Wisner, was held Monday afternoon and was under the
direction of the
First National Funeral home of Winnsboro. He leaves his father, Dr. Wyman, Winnsboro; a brother, Amos
Wyman; a sister,
Miss Bernice Wyman, California, and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Albritton, Wisner.
Porter, who had spent 18 months overseas with a quartermaster division attached to the ninth air
corps, was buried
Wednesday aftenoon at 2 o'clock in Holly Grove cemetery under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral home.
Services were
conducted at Holly Grove church near Wisner earlier. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Alma Porter; his
parents, Mr.
and Mrs. M. C. Wooten, Lubbock, Tex., and a sister, Mrs. Louise Tibbs, Wisner.
