STANLEY HARRELL SCOTT

FRANKLIN MAN IS FATALLY INJURED

Stanley Harrell Scott, 27, Killed In Auto-Truck Collision Near Suffolk 
 - Is Fifth in Eight Days.

   Stanley Harrell Scott, 27, of Franklin, was killed instantly last Sunday 
night when his car was in collision with a truck on Route 58 about a mile east 
of Suffolk.  The accident took place at around 8:30, as Scott was returning to 
Franklin.  A truck reported to have been driven by L.C. Douglas of Portsmouth 
and said to be the property of George Rheaman & Company, Inc., of Portsmouth, 
was the other vehicle involved. The truck was headed towards Portsmouth.

   The accident was investigated by State Trooper R.W. Smith, who booked 
Douglas on a manslaughter charge and released him on bond.  Scott was the 
fifth Franklin person to die on the same highway, and within a few miles of 
the same spot, within a period of eight days.

   Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Beaton, their daughter, Jacqueline, and Mrs. Beaton’s 
sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas W. Dunlow, were killed on Saturday night, 
February 21, in an auto-truck collision near Magnolia on Route 58.

   Scott is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Scott of the Franklin 
community; two brothers, Herman and Emmett Scott of Franklin; two sisters, 
Mrs. Asa Joyner of the community and Mrs. D.N. Clark of Fayetteville, N.C., 
and a number of nieces and nephews.

   Funeral services were conducted from the residence of his parents on 
Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock by the Rev. R.E. Brittle of Suffolk, and Dr. 
Elwood W. Jones of Franklin.  A quartet consisting of Dr. Darden W. Jones, 
Robert A. Vaughan, Mrs. T. Hayes Holland and Mrs. Hudson Conwell sang 
"Sometime We’ll Understand" and " Abide with Me."  There were many beautiful 
floral tributes.

   Burial was made in Poplar Spring Cemetery with the following pallbearers: 
Howard Turner, D.D. McConnell, Hudson Powell, Bernard Blythe, Elmo Blythe, 
Edward Daughtrey, W.H. Scott and V.R. Scott.
