"SERIOUS ACCIDENT"
"On Sunday morning at eleven o'clock Louis (sic) Curtis McKenzie of Altamont was fatally injured in an automobile accident. This accident occurred east of St. Elmo. Mr. McKenzie passed away on Sunday evening. He was riding in a Chevrolet sedan owned and driven by Edward Logue. Accompanying the two were Edward Kavanaugh and Leo Logue. The three received only minor bruises.
"It is reported that the gentlemen were returning home from St. Elmo, when they were crowded off the slab by a large transfer truck. Mr. Logue, in attempting to get back on the pavement, is reported to have cramped his wheels, shooting to the opposite side of the pavement and turning the car on its side. The transfer truck did not stop to offer assistance of any kind.
"An inquest was held on Tuesday afternoon at Habing's and the verdict was "an unavoidable accident," in regard to the death of Mr. McKenzie. Internal injuries as a result of the accident caused his passing."
