Last Sunday afternoon between sundown and dark, Leva Keahey, Inez and Alice and Mildred Young were driving a Ford roadster, with Inez Young at the wheel. They had driven one mile south and about a half mile east of Crawford when the car turned turtle pinning all four of the girls under the car, the door settling down on Leva Keahey's throat and chest. The other three girls succeeded in liberating themselves with a nail file just about the time Albert and Maude Rorabaugh and Marshall Young arrived at the scene and lifted the car off the Keahey girl. She was immdeiately taken to Crawford where a doctor was summoned, who pronounced her dead. It was thought that some signs of life were evidenced upon their arrival at Crawford, but it was probably only the relaxing of muscles.
Miss Keahey was the 15 year old daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Henry Keahey near Crawford. The Young girls are the daughters of Mrs. and Mrs. Orville Young of Crawford.
It is thought that the cause was the car was hard to drive and the girls were cautioned before starting on the drive.
The remains were laid to rest in the Bellview Cemetery, Crawford, after funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. C. Hardin, a former resident of Crawford.
