"Evening Times" Cumberland, Maryland, Friday 27 Aug 1948: 
"Girl Fatally Injured When Struck By Car-Five-year-old Rose Marie McGreevy, daughter 
of Owen J. and Dorothy (Spencer) McGreevy, 7 Elder Street, was fatally hurt yesterday 
afternoon when struck by an automobile on Virginia Avenue. Dr. H. V. Deming, deputy 
county medical examiner, said her death in Memorial Hospital at 4:30 p.m. resulted 
from abdominal injuries. She was enroute home from a nearby candy store when the 
accident occurred, he added. When informed of her daughter's death Mrs. McGreevy, who 
suffers from a heart ailment, collapsed. Her condition is not believed to be serious. 
Police Lt. Raymond R. Johnston said the driver, Ernest B. Crites, Robert's Street, 
posted $10 bond for trial in Police Court on a careless driving charge. The 
investigation is being continued. Crites, Lt. Johnston said, told him he was headed 
north on Virginia Avenue when the child left the store on the west side of the street 
and ran from behind a bus into the path of his car. The child was admitted to the 
hospital at 1:55 p.m. Dr. A. J. Mirkin performed an emergency laparotomy but the girl 
died later. Her other injuries included abrasions on the left side of the forehead, 
face, chest, right arm, and knees and cuts on the left side of the scalp. Besides her 
parents, she is survived by a sister, Mary Anita McGreevy, at home, and four brothers, 
Robert E. McGreevy, with the local Marine Reserve unit at Camp Lejeune, N.C., and Milan, 
James and Richard McGreevy, at home. The body is at the Hafer Funeral Home."
