Child Hit And Killed
Mr. and Mrs. Cleve CARR, Farmersville, lost their only child, Alvin, yesterday afternoon in a traffic accident on a county road on the southeast edge of Farmersville. The 9-year-old boy was struck and fatally injured by a car while he was playing with a group of children returning from classes at the East Farmersville school. He was dead on arrival at Exeter Memorial hospital. The body was taken to Hadley's funeral chapel in Visalia. Mrs. SCOTT, 55, Visalia, told highway patrolmen the boy darted in front of her car near a bridge that crosses a large irrigation canal. She estimated her speed at 15 miles per hour. Her car's right fender hit the boy a glancing blow and tossed him to the north side of the road. Deputy Sheriff Ray BURNING, first officer at the scene, said the CARR boy was among a group of children who were running up the irrigation ditch banks and across the main east-west thoroughfare on which the accident occurred. The boy lived with his parents in a trailer house in Farmersville. His mother is an invalid. Mrs. SCOTT was not held. No citation was issued.
