A 69-year-old Nottingham laborer was killed instantly shortly after 9 A.M. 
Saturday when he walked in front of an oncoming automobile on the Baltimore 
Pike, four miles south of Oxford.

The victim, LeRoy McCall, was walking south along the southbound lane of Route 
1, when he stepped without warning into the path of a car operated by Forrest 
M. Harvey, 49, Church St., North East, Md.

He was struck by the right front fender and headlight of Harvey’s automobile.  
According to Dr. Guy T. Holcombe, Oxford physician, who examined the body at 
the scene, the victim died instantly of a fractured skull.

Harvey told State Police at Avondale that he was cruising at a speed of about 
40 miles per hour at the time that McCall suddenly decided to cross the 
highway.  He said he did not see McCall until almost the instant of the impact.

McCall, a laborer employed by the Berlanti Construction Co., of Chester, 
resided in Nottingham at the home of a niece, Mrs. Mary Featherman. He had 
made his home there since last February, previous to which he had been 
employed in Philadelphia.

The deceased was born in West Nottingham township to the late Henry and Susan 
Drennen McCall.  He is survived by two brothers, Norman, of Nottingham, and 
Russell, of Oxford, and two sisters, Mrs. Sara Grayson, of Oxford, and Mrs. 
Ida M. Campbell, Nottingham.
