The Jackson Independent, Jonesboro LA, 2 June 1939
Headline: Hodge Child Struck by Auto Succumbs

Little Kenneth Blackstock, six and one-half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd 
Blackstock, of Hodge, died at 7:00 o'clock Wednesday evening at the Hodge 
Clinic from injuries received at 5:30 Wednesday afternoon when he was struck 
by an automobile in front of his home on the Ruston highway. He never regained 
consciousness from the time of the accident until his death.

Playing with a brother on the lawn of his home, young Kenneth is reported to 
have dashed out on the highway directly in the path of an approaching 
automobile. The driver jammed on his brakes with such force that the occupants 
of the car were thrown from their seats but it is said it was impossible to 
avoid hitting the child.

Rushed to the Hodge Clinic, examination revealed that the child suffered a 
fractured skull, two broken legs and undetermined internal injuries.
