Eakly Youth Killed In Auto Accident
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, Sept. 24, at Eakly for Earl Adams who was fatally injured in an automobile accident near Blackwell Sunday
night, Sept. 20. Earl had been attending a family reunion at the E.J. Murray home east of Blackwell. With a relative he started to walk along the pavement to a neighboring house when he was hit by Roy Dobbs of Newkirk. Dobbs was driving east and another car was approaching from the east when the two men attempted to cross the pavement. Earl's companion crossed in front of the car going west but Earl waited for it to pass before going on across. The Dobbs' car was being driven at a higher rate of speed and got to him before the other car could pass and allow him to cross on over. Dobbs said he was blinded by the approaching car and could not see anyone on the pavement. Dobbs stopped, returned to Blackwell and sent an ambulance to the scene and the injured man was taken to a sanitarium at Blackwell where he died at 8 o'clock Monday night without regaining consciousness.
Earl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Adams, was born April 2, 1910, in the Eakly community and died Monday Sept. 21, 1931 at Blackwell, being 21 years, 5 months and 21 days of age. He has lived in the Eakly community his entire lifetime.
In his early 'teens he professed faith in Christ and followed his Lord in baptism. As a citizen, a student, a son, a brother and a friend he was without reproach. In his going the community sustained a distinct loss. Earl had been a student in both the Weatherford and Sickles high schools.
The heart of the entire community goes out to the father, mother, sisters, brothers, and to her whom he had chosen to be his life's companion, thirteen aunts and uncles, two grandparents and the other relatives with whom he was so closely associated. May "He, who doeth all things well," be very near the family in their great sorrow.
