Again when going though the gate there was quite a little knoll and the truck could not make it. I backed up about 50 feet to a better road, the girls again getting out to push, and made it. We were then on the main road and I told the girls to get in now that we would make it all right from there, but Fern said she wanted to ride on the running board so she could push some more. She stepped off the truck to the roadside, which was high at that place, and just as I reached for the emergency brake to stop the truck I felt the wheel run over something and knew it was she. She had landed on her feet safely, but must have stumbled as she had rolled completely under the car.’ Funeral services were held from the Christian church Tuesday afternoon by Rev O A Adams, interment being made in Mountain View Cemetery.
