JACK HILDRETH DAMPIER 

FRANKLIN MAN KILLED IN MONDAY ACCIDENT 

   Jack Dampier of 408 Third Ave. Franklin, was killed Monday afternoon in a 
freak auto accident on the South Quay Road near Peterson’s Nursery.

   He was apparently thrown from his 1958 station wagon when it left the road 
and killed when the vehicle rolled over on him in the ditch, pinning him 
beneath the hood.

   Employed by the Franklin Concrete Products Corp., he has six daughters.

   Bystanders rolled the station wagon to extract the body.  Minutes later 
the vehicle caught fire and burned.

   The Franklin fire department was called to put out the blaze.

   Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. at the Poplar 
Spring Cemetery.  Rev. Ira D. Hudgins and Rev. Don Dunlap conducted the 
services.

   He was the husband of Mrs. Yvonne Skipper Dampier and the son of Mrs. 
Mary Hopkins Dampier, Bishopville, S.C., and the late Robert William Dampier. 
He was a member of the Bruner Men’s Bible Class of the Franklin Baptist 
Church.

   The six daughters are Misses Janice, Patricia, Arlene, Darlene, Jacquelyn 
and Judy, all of Franklin.

   Other survivors include three brothers, Harvey of Hartsville, S.C., and 
Robert and Carl, both of Los Angeles, Calif.; a sister, Mrs. Wilbur Campbell 
of Oates, S.C., and several nieces and nephews.

   Pallbearers Tuesday were James Cobb, Otis Blythe, Robert C. Ray, Alton 
Vick, Roy Griffin and Robert Rideout.
