ALFRED EMMANUEL HASTY

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT FATAL TO ALFRED E. HASTY OF FRANKLIN

   Alfred Emmanuel Hasty, 28, husband of Mrs. Dorothy McCann Hasty, Airport 
Village, Franklin, was instantly killed Wednesday morning about 7 o'clock when 
his tractor-trailer left the highway about 13 miles south of Ahoskie, N.C. and 
over-turned.  The tractor caught on fire and was totally destroyed. 

   Mr. Hasty was a driver for the Miller Motor Lines of Greensboro, N.C. and 
was hauling tall oil from Plymouth to the new Hercules Powder Company plant at 
Franklin. 

   The accident occurred in a swampy area, and the tall oil in the trailer 
spilled out and distributed itself in the swamp. 

   Mr. Hasty was the son of Mrs. Iola Mabel Hasty and the late Percy Lewis 
Hasty.  He was a member of the Sebrell Methodist Church and a veteran of World 
War II. 

   Besides his wife and mother, he is survived by one son, Douglas E. Hasty; 
two daughters, Victoria Lynn Hasty and Linda Sue Hasty, all of Franklin; three 
sisters, Mrs. John Vargo, Mrs. Raymond Bess and Mrs. James Joyner, all of 
Franklin; three brothers, Carlton Hasty of Petersburg, Gerald Hasty of 
Franklin, and Quillian Hasty, U.S. Army stationed in Japan. 

   Funeral services will be conducted Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the chapel of the 
W.J.M. Holland and Sons Funeral Home by Rev. C.A. McCormick, Jr., pastor of 
the Courtland Methodist Church and Rev. Edwin C. Thornton, pastor of Beaver 
Dam Baptist Church.
