RITES FRIDAY FOR
I. J. SEALOCK, 52,
FIRST '66 FATALITY


Surviving a first accident 1.1 miles east of town on route 55 at 5:25am Tuesday, a second traffic accident took the life of Irvin Jesse Sealock, Warren County's first traffic fatality in 1966.

State trooper Harry F. Will conjectured that Mr. Sealock, 52 year old Rivermont man, traveling east in a 1963 Comet, hit a patch of ice, crossed the road, went up an embankment, overturned and came to rest in an upright position. Traffic stopped. Mr. Sealock emerged from his car and was standing apparently beside it when Wesley Asbury Breeden of Stanley, headed east in a 1962 Peugeot, saw the accident, applied brakes and skidding on the same icy spot, hit Mr. Sealock and his automobile; he was dead on arrival at Warren Memorial Hospital.

Damage to the Mercury was estimated to be $500; to the Peugeot, $400.

The Rev. Jerry Young and the Rev. Mark L. Hopkins will conduct services Friday at 2pm in the Rivermont Baptist Church. Interment will follow at Prospect Hill cemetery.

Mr. Sealock, a carpenter, is a native of Warren County. He was born on May 3, 1913, the son of Elizabeth Figgins Sealock and the late Henry Sealock. Besides his mother, he leaves his wife, Gladys; two daughters, Mrs. Janet White in Washington, D.C. and Miss Jean Sealock, in Arlington, and one grandchild.

He was the brother of Marvin, Lyle, Everett and Russell Sealock, Mrs. Otis Derflinger, Mrs. Virgie Rutherford, Mrs. Ethel Lester, all here, and Mr. Robert Sealock, in Maryland.

Friends may call of the Maddox Funeral Home until noon Friday. Pallbearers are Eugene Steele, Cecil Hounshell, C. D. Strother, Sr., Dave Campbell, Gene Bowen, Warren Glascock. Honorary pallbearers will be Herbert Heflin, Everett Bohon, Norman Breeden, Sam Parsons, Ted Nicholson, John Purdy.
