Obit: Forrest Allen, employee of the Stowers Fence Company,
Kirklin, died in the Clinton County hospital shortly before midnight last night from injuries suffered Tuesday in an auto-truck collision one mile and a quarter east of Deer Creek, Carroll County. His death was the second to result from the accident, John O. Brown 56, route 2, Camden, having been killed instantly.

Mr. Allen Was taken to the hospital suffering with a broken arm, cuts and bruises and internal injuries, which were not at first believed critical.

The accident occurred about 11 a.m. according to facts learned by Corner C.W. Hunter of Carroll County. Brown was traveling west on a highway in his passenger car and Allen was going north with a light truck hauling a load of fence posts. According to B.D. Leavitt and John Miller, state policeman, the crossing is open and the drivers apparently failed to note the approach of the other vehicle.

The passenger car struck the light truck almost in the center, knocking it off the road where it stopped on its side, falling on Allen's arm. The Brown car went into a ditch and the driver was instantly killed by a fracture of the neck and serious head injury.
