Automobile Accidents Cause Deaths of Two Former Sikes Residents

A branch projecting over the highway knocked Woodrow Evans, 20, from the top
of a truck loaded with carnival equipment in Monroe Sunday.  He died later of
a severe skull fracture.

Evans was "hitch hiking" to Monroe from his home at Sikes on the Jonesboro
road at the time of the accident.  The truck was transporting carnival
equipment to Oak Grove, where the West Carroll fair is being held.

Evans is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pat Evans, three brothers and
four sisters, of Sikes.

Artie Erskine, son of Mr. Geo. Erskine of Chatham, died Tuesday as the result
of an automobile accident.  Funeral services were conducted at Jonesboro
Wednesday.
