Hubbardston Youth Killed in Auto Crash Sunday

Frederick Cunningham, 15, of Hubbardston was instantly killed at 11:00 p.m. last
Sunday night when he was thrown into the path of his own car in an automobile
accident south east of Carson City.  He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Cunningham of that village

A cousin Jimmie Cunningham, 15, also of Hubbardston suffered minor injuries. 
Joyce Kirvin, 15, of Maple Rapids, a passenger in the Cunningham car was not
injured.  Marvin Drake of Fowler was the driver of the second car.  He was not
injured.

According to Clinton County officials the accident occurred at the intersection
of Tallman Road and the Clinton-Gratiot County-line road.  The Cunningham car
struck the car driven by Drake near the rear fender.  Frederick Cunningham was
thrown from his own vehicle which then apparently ran over him as it crashed
into a tree.  Dempsey Ebert, coroner, of St. Johns, said the boy had been killed
instantly and that there would be no inquest.

He is survived by his parents; three sisters, Mrs. Robert Barker, Mrs. Keith
Clark and Mrs. Theresa Speckin of Hubbardston; five brothers, Gerald of Fenwick,
Keith and William of Hubbardston, and John and Lawrence at home.   Mrs.
Catherine O’Berry and Mrs. Frank Wizorek of Ionia are aunts and Lawrence Kane of
Ionia is an uncle of Cunningham.

Funeral services were held Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock from St. John The
Baptist church in Hubbardston.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was
buried in St. John the Baptist Cemetery.]
