Two Coulterville Youths Killed in Car Wreck Friday Afternoon on Route 13
One youth was killed instantly and another died from chest injuries in the Sparta Hospital an hour after a head-on automobile accident last Friday afternoon during the heavy rain on route 13 between Swanwick and Coulterville. Both youths were residents of Coulterville.
Killed outright in the two-car crash was Donald Hale, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jmes R. Hale, and Edward Quinn, 24, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Quinn. Both families living in Coulterville.
The other car was driven by Edwin K. Cox of St. Louis. Occupants of the St. Louis car were taken to a Belleville hospital in a serious condition. Both of Cox's legs were broken while his wife suffered a fractured hip and internal injuries.
A downpour had flooded the highway and it was still raining at the time of the accident.
The two cars evidently hit almost head-on. Both machines were badly damaged, Quinn's car being almost demolished.
Cox, 47, who lives at 4166 Lindell, St. Louis, was enroute to Carbondale with his wife, 47, when the accident occurred.

Obituary of James Edward Quinn
The march of another soldier is over, his battles are all fought. As in other days he lies down under the arching skies awaiting the bugle call, behold the silver cord is loosed, Golden bowl is broken and teh pitcher is broken at the fountain, wheel broken at the Cistern.
James Edward Quinn, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Quinn, was born at Coulterville, Ill., December 15, 1925. Departed this life July 22, 1949 at the age of 23 years 7 months and 7 days.
Edward was left with out a mother's lvoe and care when just a ew weeks old, his mother having died January 22, 1926. But his father and grandmother, Mrs. Mary Quinn carried on and kept the home together and reared Edward to fine manhood. He graduated from Coulterville high school with the class of 1944 and entered the service of his country July 28th, 1944. He served overseas 23 months, after his honorable discharge, he re-enlisted and was a reserve at the time of his death. He was a soldier, he knew a soldier's duty. His service help to keep aglow the torch of priceless liberty. In solemn pride we dedicate our lives to the complete fulfillment of the task. He was christened in the Methodist church, December 19, 1926 at the age of one year and four days. He was converted in 1939 and united with the church under the ministry of S. C. Wright. He was dependable, at the last quarterly conference he was appointed on the Pastor relation committee. He very seldom missed Sunday School and morning services. He will be sadly missed in the home, the church and community. He possessed a likable disposition and formed a friendship not only among the young people but among the older people as well.
He leaves to mourn his sudden departure, his father and step-mother, his grandmother, Mrs. Mary Quinn, other relatives and many friends who have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
Double funeral services were held at the Methodist church at Coulterville Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock conducted by the Rev. O. A. Sweckard and Rev. M. A. Kahl. Interment took place in the Coulterville cemetery. About 1000 persons attended the services.
