Accident Causes Death of Man Near Wattsville

Farmer Falls Under Wheel Of Truck and is Crushed

Ernest Guthrie, about 48 years of age, died Saturday night from injuries
suffered when he fell from a truck a short distance north of Calvin on the
Wattsville Road Saturday afternoon.  The deceased who was subject to severe
spells of sickness, is thought to have either fallen from the truck while ill
or to have fallen asleep.  The rear wheels of the vehicle passed over his body
before the driver, Frank Carpenter, could stop the truck.

At the time of the accident the truck, in the cab of which was the wife of the
deceased, was going down hill and it was not until after the wheels passed
over the body that the driver was aware of the danger.  Mr. Guthrie leaves his
wife and five or six children.  He was a farmer in the Wattsville section. 
Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon by the Rev. Moss, pastor of
Sanders Chapel.  Interment was in the Wattsville Cemetery.
