Services Held For Automobile Accident Victim
John Hammers, 16, who was Fatally Injured in Auto Crash on Tuesday of Last Week, Laid to Rest in Cemetery Here

Funeral services for John B. Hammers, 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Hammers who was fatally injured in an auto accident east of Glenwood on Tuesday of last week were held in the Raynor chapel on last Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock, with Rev. Sales of the Holiness church in charge. Music for the service was furnished by Mrs. Frank Kemp, Mrs. Wm. Lugsch, Harry Hamilton and Whitney Gillilland, with Miss Elsie Evans at the piano. The pallbearers were Lawrence Pace, Jim Allbee, Ferris Hubbell, Woodrow Harris, George Ross and Lacel Killmon. The body was laid to rest in the Glenwood cemetery.

John was born October 28, 1914, and had resided in this community during his entire life, attending school here and being a boy of cheerful disposition, and made many friends who were grieved by his tragic death which followed in less than an hour after the car he was driving crashed head-on with a car driven by N.H. Hall of Hastings, just east of Glenwood, on Tuesday evening of last week.

He is survived by his parents, three sisters and six brothers. Three brothers and one sister have preceded him in death.
