Fall From Truck Is Fatal To Melton Long of Louin, Miss.

Remains Taken To Home In Mississippi For Funeral, Burial

Melton Long of Louin, Miss., was fatally injured Friday afternoon of last week
when he fell from a truck, his head hitting the pavement, rendering him
unconscious and from which he was unable to be aroused before he died on the
following day, Saturday afternoon about one o'clock.

a water keg. The truck made a turn from Court to Bevill Street to the left and
he was thrown to the pavement head first. The injured man was taken to the
clinic from where he was later removed to the home of Arthur Grice, with whom
he worked.

His parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Long of Louin, Miss., arrived Saturday and
conveyed the remains back to the home for funeral services and burial. Mr. J.
L. Long, the father, is a brother to C. F. Long of Curry and Will Long of
