Route 40, six miles west of Frostburg, will be held Thursday at 3:30 p. m. at Mt. Zion Methodist Church, located on Route 40. Rev. Emory McGraw, pastor, will officiate and interment will be in the church cemetery. The body will be taken from the Durst Funeral Home in Frostburg to the home of the girl's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Crowe, in Avilton, sometime this evening. The Garrett County youngster who lived at Avilton, was pronounced dead on arrival at Miners Hospital in Frostburg. Dr. James E. Feaster Jr., deputy Garrett County medical examiner, said the victim died of a fractured skull. She was a daughter of Roy and Diona (Crowe) Broadwater. Authorities said the driver of the automobile was Mavis Irene Warren, 32, of 5212 Valley Road, Washington 19, D. C. The accident occurred at 4 p. m. at Long Stretch in front of the Route 40 Elementary School. The child was reported to have gone to the school earlier in the day to take a band lesson. Afterward she and several other children were standing in front of the school waiting for a ride home. Tfc. Glen D. Folk of the State Police said the driver was operating her car east on Route 40 at an apparent moderate rate of speed. As the car came abreast of the child, police said, the victim began crossing the highway and was struck by the right front fender of the auto. The child was thrown off to the right of the highway. A native of Avilton, the little girl was born on February 15, 1951, and was a member of Mt. Zion Methodist Church. Surviving, besides her parents are two brothers, Monty Roy and Rickey Wayne Broadwater, both at home, and three sisters, Barbara Diane, Gladys Louis and Denise June Broadwater also at home.
