Obituary:
Marvin Brothers, 57, was killed in an early morning traffic accident Wednesday becoming the city's second traffic fatality this year.
A pickup truck hit Brothers just before 1 a.m. on Virginia Street near its intersection with Waco. Patrolman C.R. Apple identified the driver as Charles J. Hill, 35, St. Johns Mo., who is visiting relatives here.
Brothers, who lived at 2714 California, was pronounced dead on arrival at Wichita General Hospital.
Both the driver of the vehicle and a passenger Dale Blair, said they did not see the man before they heard something strike the car.
Both said heavy rain was falling.
Brothers' death was the first traffic fatality in Wichita Falls in 121 days. A Lamesa man, killed on the Henrietta Road, was the only other fatality this year.
Hampton-Vaughan-Merkle Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Funeral services have been set for 3:30 p.m. Friday from the chapel of Hampton-Vaughan-Merkle Funeral Home. Burial will be in Crestview Memorial Park.
Survivors include five daughters, Mrs. Nelson Walker and Mrs. R.C. Phillips both of Wichita Falls, and Mrs. George Edleman of Los Angeles, Mrs. R.E. Nowell of Santa Monica Calif., and Mrs. L.H. Crow of Houston; three brothers, Buford Brothers of Seymour, Bernie Brothers of Burleson and Sam Brothers of Fort Worth; two sisters, Mrs. Esther Bryant of Seagraves and Mrs. Maudie Nix of Seymour, and 11 grandchildren.
