Stpwnrt, 8, dniighter of Ml*, and Mrs, Nathan Stewart, farmer . who .Hvca between Greasy Corner and Pork cliiireh (lied tit fCooloemee Thursday iiflornoon abbut an hour after belni? hit> by a school bus which was preparing to load children to take them home from Jeru- aalcm consolidated school. The -accident took place at 3:3G p. m. and the driver of the bus was J. W. Evorhardt, 17,- son of Joe Evcrhardt,' who op erates a garage at Greasy cor ner. After an investigation by the Davlo county coroner he. termed the accident in his opinion as unavoidable and stated that an intiUGst would not be necessary, according to E. M. Junker, principal of the school. EXACT CAUSE .UNItNOWN The exact cause of death was not Icnown. There wore no marks on the body and the theory that n truck wheel ran over the child woB abandoned by Mr. Junker. It WAS his opinion that the child must hnvo been struck by the aide of tho bus, iknocked down at a point whcro the ground/was hard and perhaps suffered n concussion of the brain. The bos was in front of the school pei'parJng to .receive, tho children and could not have been moving more than a couple miles per hour, Mr. Junker stated, when K^Iic accident took place. Eager to got a good scat in the bus, the children have a habit of rushing to tho bus, it was stated, and it is thought that perhaps the child might have been struck in the rush. DOCTOR SUMMONED After the accident she was taken inside school and | when a doctor could not lo cated at -Cooleemce, one . was summoned from here. Mr. Junk er stated. 'When he arrived tho child was barely alive. Aside from the parents who moved to this section less than a year ago from High Point, the the child is survived by one small brother, four years old. The child was in tho third grade. Tho funeral of the unfortun ate little girl was held at Bethel Methodist Protestant Church, on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. M. 0.
