Ramsey, who was "A years old, was pitched headlong out of the team and was struck by the car, and his companion was thrown to one side of the road. The horse was killed and the wagon was badly demolished. Baxter and MT. Ramsey were visiting at the home of MT. Ramsey's son, Alexander, in somersville during the afternoon, and were returning home when the acci- dent occurred. MT.
