Small Son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Reeves of Hargis Is Victim

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at Mars Hill for the seven year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Reeves of Verda, who was instantly killed Saturday
morning when he was hit by a car driven by Charlie Dixon.

The child, according to best available information, was crossing the road in
front of his home on the Verda-Hargis highway and had a sack over his head, it
was stated, when the truck driven by Mr. Dixon, who was on his way to the
grist mill, hit the child. Mr. Dixon proceeded to the mill and was there
informed by Bob Fletcher, who witnessed the accident from his wagon back of
the truck, that he had struck the boy a fatal blow about the head.

The child is survived by his parents, one sister, grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Edd Reeves and grandmother, Mrs. Pearlee Hale of Hargis.
