Gertrude Smith Killed In Car Wreck May 21

Worker on Dugdemonia Bridge Also Seriously Injured

Mary Gertrude Smith, about 20 years of age, was instantly killed when a Ford
car in which she was riding turned over several times on a curve near Tullos
last Thursday night.  Miss Gussie Fay Berry, 25, and Mrs. O. R. Lilly,
employed on the construction of the Dugdemonia bridge near here, were both
injured in the wreck.  Mr. Lilly was carried to the Olla clinic where his
condition was pronounced serious.  Last reports however were that he would
probably recover.

Miss Berry received treatment in the Winnfield clinic.  She suffered bruises
and cuts and one ear was almost severed.

Funeral services for Miss Smith were conducted at Corinth Saturday afternoon,
under the direction of Edmonds Funeral Home.

Surviving are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Darius Smith of Winnfield, Route Two;
five sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Sam Collins and Armon Smith of Winnfield,
Mrs. George Smith, Miss Lela Smith, Mrs. Virus Adams and Noble Smith of Hodge,
