Roscoe Lewis Miles dies of fractured skull when auto hits washout in road.
Injuries suffered in an automobile accident Friday night proved fatal Saturday to Roscoe Lewis Miles, 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Miles, 613 South F street.
Young Miles, a junior in Marion high school, died in Marion General Hospital at 2:20 pm. Saturday without regaining consciousness after his car, in which he was riding with two companions crashed into a ditch on West Thirty-Eight street at 10:15 pm. Friday.
The accident occurred just outside the city limits, on Roseburg Pike, and sheriff officials who investigated said the car apparently had struck a washout in the road, after the driver, Philip Satterwaite, 18, of 1306 West Sixth street, became blinded by fog and mist.
The car turned over at least once, officials said, throwing Miles, Satterwaite and a third companion, Joseph Morgan, 16, 3202 South McClure street, clear of the wreckage. Neither Morgan nor Satterwaite was injured. Miles received a fractured skull.
He was a member of the Civil Air Patrol.
The body was taken to 710 West Third street and will be returned to the residence Sunday noon, where it will remain until time for funeral services.
Last rites will be conducted at 2:30 pm. Tuesday at the First Friends Church, of which he was a member. Rev. J. R. Furbay, pastor, will offiiciate.
Surviors include the parents and two sisters: Mrs. LaVern(Emma) Burke and Miss Melva Unis Miles; paternal grandfather, Bert R. Miles and the maternal grandmother, Mrs. (Samuel) Laura Hill, all of Marion.
