BOY FOUND ON HIGHWAY DIES
Funeral services will be held today for Lucian Turney Grubbs, nine-year-old boy, who died at 9:25 o'clock Friday night in the Decatur General hospital of head injuries after having been found unconscious on a road near Gravel Ridge Friday afternoon.
He was a son of Mr and Mrs J. Mark Grubbs, Somerville 1.
According to W. T. McMullan, superintendent of schools at Cotaco, the boy is believed to have been struck by a school bus which he had just left. The bus was driven by Theo Lemmond, 17-year-old Cotaco high school student.
It was first thought that Grubbs might have been struck by a hit-and-run driver, but statements by Fletch Turney, who found the boy lying in the middle of the road in front of his home, at 4:30 o'clock.
He was taken into Hartselle in his father's car. Peck's ambulance brought him to the hospital Friday night at 6:45 o'clock.
The child regained partial consciousness, enough to recognize his mother and father, but never enough to tell what had happened.
The boy's head was reported by Mr McMullan to have a blue welt broken in only one place. He also had a bruise on his left leg.
Coroner Bev Howell said no inquest had been held.
Funeral services will be held at Antioch church at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The minister will be Rev Edwin Branscomb. Burial will be in the adjoining cemetery, Peck directing.
Pallbearers will be Theo Lemmond, Jack Lemmond, Harold Dunaway and T. P. Turney.
