Funeral Services Held Monday For Accident Victim

Claude Daily Dies From Injuries Received When Hit By Automobile

Funeral services for Claude Daily, 36 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. George
M. Daily, prominent and esteemed Dodson residents, who succumbed Saturday
night about 12 o'clock in a Winnfield clinic, were held at the Dodson
Methodist Episcopal Church, Monday at 11 a.m., with the Rev. C. J. White, of
Hodge, pastor of the Dodson church, of which the deceased was a member, and
Rev. L. A. Morgan, minister of Jonesboro, officiating.

The unfortunate young fellow, in crossing the street in Winnfield in the midst
of a severe snowstorm, was run over, or struck by an automobile driven by a
man named Phillips, of Memphis, Tenn., and it is said that his skull was
fractured and possibly he received other injuries.  He was rushed to the
Fittz-Faith Clinic for treatment and expired about two hours after the
accident.

The accident was reported unavoidable, as it is thought that the driver of the
automobile did not see the young man due to the heavy snow.  Interment was
made in Transport, Jackson Parish Cemetery.  The floral offerings were many
and beautiful.

The news of the tragic death was a great shock to the people of Dodson and
other sections and the Daily family has the sympathy of a host of friends.

Claude was well liked by all who knew him.  He had been employed by W. D.
Temple in the service station business.

Surviving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Daily of Dodson; and the
following brothers and sisters, James and R. L. Daily of Dodson; J. P. Daily
of Jonesboro; Ray Daily of Dry Prong; Walter Daily of Pineville; Mrs. Mae
Thompson of Jena and Miss Effie Bolton of Carlsbad, New Mexico.
