Young Holley was enroute to Purvis Sunday afternoon where he was carrying his brother, William, to meet an uncle who was to carry William back to his CCC camp near New Augusta. In the car with you Holley at the time were his mother, two sisters, Mrs. R. S. Crocker and Miss Caroline Holley, William, his brother, Mrs. Crocker's children and two other children, Lavon and B. L. Keith.
Near Talawah creek young Holley got out of the car to remove a fan belt that had been giving trouble and upon getting back into the car complained of his head hurting and pains in his arms.
