FUNERAL SERVICES
MRS. ALMA CAMPBELL
HELD AT EMHOUSE
Funeral services for Mrs. Alma Edna Campbell, aged 31 years, fatally injured Monday night when the automobile in which she was riding turned over several times after leaving the pavement near the Corsicana Country, were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First Baptist church in Emhouse. The rites were conducted by Rev. Dan Sharpley, pastor of the church. Burial was in Emmett cemetery.
Mrs. Campbell, accompanied by her four-year old daughter, Carolyn Ballew, by a former marriage, was en route home to Emhouse from Corsicana when her car plunged over an embankmbent, went through a fence and telephone post, turned over and hurled her body some 35 feet from where the car came to a stop, according to statements by Richard Perkins, 418 South Thirteenth street, Corsicana, who with Miss Margaret Petty of Corsicana, discovered the wrecked automobile, the lifeless body of the victim and the little child, unhurt and nestling in the arms of the mother. Perkins said the child was not excited or perturbed when he arrived. The body of Mrs. Campbell and the child were brought to the P. and S. Hospital. It was estimated that Mrs. Campbell was killed about 9 p.m. and the body was discovered at 10:45 p.m. Sheriff Cap Curington and State Highway Patrolman Byron Currin investigated the accident.
Fifteenth Auto Fatality.
Mrs. Campbell's death was the fifteenth auto fatality in Navarro county during 1945.
Officers and others investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident were at a loss to explain how the mother was hurled such a distance and that the child escaped injury, unless the woman had clutched her child at the time of the accident and miraculously broke the impact of the fall with her own body, saving the child.
Surviving are her husband, J. E. Campbell, U. S. Armed Forces home on furlough; four children, James Ballew, Keith Ballew, Joy Ballew and Carolyn, all of Emhouse; father T. M. Morgan, Emhouse; three brothers, Mark Morgan, Corbet; Mason Morgan, Corsicana, and Billy Morgan, U. S. Navy; three sisters, Mrs. Willard Wilne and Dorothy Morgan both of Alma, and Helen Morgan, Corsicana, and other relatives.
