DONALD KEEBLE

Killed by Falling Out of Moving Car
Donald Keeble, Penn State Student, Fatally Injured While Returning to College

  Donald Keeble, aged 21, of Pittsburgh, died in Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, 
at 1:55 Wednesday afternoon, of injuries received when he fell from a moving 
automobile on the William Penn Highway, between Blairsville and Armagh, early 
Wednesday morning.  His chest was crushed and he suffered a puncture of a lung 
and fractures of four ribs on the left side.
  Keeble was a student at Penn State College and was enroute back to the 
institution in company with a fellow student, Newell Lewis, also of Pittsburgh, 
who is said to have been driving the automobile.  They had spent the Easter 
holidays at their homes in Pittsburgh.
  Lewis told authorities at the hospital that the door of the car opened 
suddenly and that Keeble tumbled out of it while the car was moving rapidly.
  Keeble's mother, who formerly was Miss Fannie Allen of Meyersdale, a sister of 
Mrs. W. G. Hocking, was at his bedside when he passed away.  Mrs. Keeble, 
accompanied by a daughter, hurried to Johnstown when notified of the accident.  
The young man's father is dead.  In addition to his mother, Donald Keeble is 
survived by three sisters.
