FORMER DELTAN DIES IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Franklin Cary, former student of the Delta High School, was killed in an automobile accident Thursday, October 28, at Aberdeen, Idaho. The car in which he and three companions were driving got out of control and traveled about sixty feet on the barrow pit before it was finally brought under control again. As he drove the car back onto the highway, he had to turn again in order to avoid hitting a truck. The car overturned pinning the occupants under the car. Help soon came but they were unable to life the car until others arrived. The occupants were immediately taken to an emergency station. Franklin was then alive. He died of a crushed skull as they reached the hospital. Two of the occupants were badly shaken up suffering from severe shock and one girl is in a serious condition.
He was born in Oklahoma, July 19, 1920 and moved to Delta at an early age where he lived until the family moved to Aberdeen, Idaho in April 1937. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. E.V. Cary, one brother Charles and two sisters Mrs. Trula Abbott and Mrs. Flora Clayson all of Aberdeen. Funeral services were held in Aberdeen Monday, November 1 and interment was in the IOOF cemetery there. Franklin was in his junior year in high school there at the time of his death. His mother, Mrs. E.V. Cary had served as librarian of the Delta Public Library for about ten years before the family moved to Idaho this spring to make their home there. Franklin was the youngest child of her family and the many friends of the family here deeply sympathize with them in this sorrow.
