SERVICES HELD TODAY FOR BUCKEYE BOY

KILLED IN CAR CRASH THAT CRITICALLY HURT HIS MOTHER

   Funeral services are being held today for James Rogers McMahon, 13-year-old 
Buckeye township boy, who was instantly killed in a two car crash at Midland 
early Sunday morning. His mother, Mrs. Evelyn McMahon, is in critical 
condition at the Midland hospital with a fractured skull and serious chest 
injuries. She has not regained consciousness since the accident. 
   Leo McMahon, 20, driver of the car and a brother of James, suffered a 
broken left arm and head lacerations. Midland city police, who investigated, 
said the McMahon car was traveling west on US-10 returning from Bay City. The 
second car involved, driven by Thomas Conroy, 23, of Mt. Pleasant, was 
traveling south on Eastman road. The Conroy car ran a red light, officers 
said, and crashed into the side of the McMahon car. Both cars were demolished. 
Conroy was not injured, but his companion, William Mullett, 26, of Shepherd, 
was treated for a lacerated forehead and releashed.
   Conroy was arrested and was to be arraigned on a negligent homicide charge. 
James was hurled from the car, in which he was riding, to the pavement and 
died instantly of a fractured skull, internal injuries and broken limbs. The 
family was returning from a wedding in Bay City, relatives said. 
   James McMahon was born in San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 8, 1940, and returned to 
Gladwin county as an infant. His father, George, died in 1941. Survivors are 
his mother and brother. He was a seventh grade student in the Hay school and 
his classmates are to act as pallbearers.
   Services are to be held this afternoon at the Hall Funeral Home at 2 p.m. 
The officiating clergy-men are Rev. Henry Kreulen, of Bay City, and the Rev. 
Ernest Jehnsen, of the Beaverton Church of the Brethren. Burial will be made 
in the Dale cemetery.
