The Sabine Index - Hoyt Pugh

  13 Jul 1934 - Hoyt (Pug) Dupree, 28, died at Allen sanitarium
in Converse 3:30 Wednesday afternoon as a result of injury
received in a truck accident just north of the city limits of
Many Tuesday night.

  Dupree was riding in a gravel truck with Carvin Wormack and
Toad Hayes, driver, on their way home near Florien from their
work on the construction of the Noble-Converse highway Tuesday
night when a car with bright lights is said to have crowded
them off the eight-foot fill across Buvens bottom on the
Many-Shreveport highway.  The offending car is alleged to have
kept going without offering aid to the wrecked truck or occupants.
Hays and Womack escaped injuries while Dupree was hurled several
feet from the truck into a barb wire fence, suffering a broken
shoulder and internal injuries.  Dr. S. F. Fraser administered
first aid, after which the young man was conveyed to Allen
sanitarium, followed by death Wednesday afternoon.

  Dupree has been discharged from the U. A. Army six weeks.  He is
survived by his widow, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dupree;
three brothers, Leslie, Clifton and Leman Dupree; one sister, Mrs.
Flossie Mothershed, all of Mt. Carmel.

  Funeral services at Mt. Carmel Baptist church 2 p.m. Thursday
with the Rev. W. G. Bailey conducting the last rites before interment
in Mt. Carmel cemetery.
