Headline:  Colfax Woman struck by Truck and Killed Trying to Save Child

Mrs. Laura Michaels, 49 years of age, of Colfax, was struck and instantly 
killed by a truck near Colfax Sunday night as she was attempting to push her 
daughter from the path of the truck.

It seems that the mother and daughter had gotten off a truck and the child 
darted across the highway.  Mrs. Michaels seeing the approaching truck, 
dashed out in order to save her daughter.  The child escaped but the mother 
was struck.

Dr. I. W. Sanford, coroner, stated that the accident was evidently 
unavoidable.  The truck was driven by Reece Sandifeur, nephew of Mrs. 
Michaels.
