Man Injured in Freak Accident May 13, Dies This Morning
Vinton "Skippy" Ray, 41, of Dixon, Ohio, died this morning at 8:25 o'clock at the Adams county memorial hospital.
Death was attributed indirectly to an injury sustained in a freak accident, on May 13. On that day Mr. Ray suffered a severe skull fracture when a truck tire blew out and the rim struck him on the head.
He was confined in the hospital here for several weeks in a critical condition, but apparently recovered and was released. Last Tuesday he became ill when he suffered from exposure in a rainstorm.
