VICTIM Of AUTO
ACCIDENT DIES
EDWARD c. BOYD PASSES AWAY
IN MEMPHIS HOSPITAL
Tuesday .Night-Was Born and
Reared in Upton COunty-MOther
Three Brothers. Wife. Son and
Daughter Are Left Surviving.

From the Memphis Commercial
Appeal Of Wednesday morning we
learn that Mr. Edward Boyd, Of
Clarksdale, Miss, one of the victims
of an automobile accident at Clarks-
dale 10 days ago, died Tuesday night
at the Presbyterian Hospital in Mem
phis. He is the second of the three
injured in the accident to die, the
first, j. w. Liggon, of Gunnison,
dying at the hospital soon after the
victims reached Memphis.
L. 3. Showers, of Benoit, is fast re-
covering and will soon be able to re-
turn to his home.
The three were returning from a
baseball game. Their automobile
ran into a wagon, so the report was.
Clarksdale citizens procured a special
train and rushed the injured men to
Memphis. Anxiety was added to the
accident by mistaken reports that
the ambulance of j. T. Hinton & Son
which took Mr.. Slower to the hos
pital. collided with a private auto
mobile at Third street and Washing
ton avenue. The fact is that no dam
age whatever was done and the pa
tient suffered no discomfort. His
improvement has been steady.
Mr.. Boyd is son of the late Capt.
Alfred Boyd, was AZ years of age
at the time OF, his passing away,
and is brother of DR.. ]. ]. Boyd, of
this place, and has a host Of friends
in this community, who learned the
news of his death with feelings of
the deepest sadness. He was born
and reared in Upton county and
made his home here until Is years
ago, when he began travelling in
Mississippi for the Lennon & Gale
Co. of Memphis. He made his home
at Bolivar for some time. but for the
past four or five years has been re-
siding at Clarksdale, Miss. He is
survived by his mother, Mrs. Alfred
Boyd, of Brownsville. the brother
mentioned above. by two other broth
ers. Messrs. Robert Bovd, of Wash
ington, D. c., and Mr.. Graham Boyd,
Of Brownsville. His wife, who was
formerly Miss Bessie Tate. Of
Bolivar. a son and a daughter are
also left surviving.
The remains were shipped We'd
'nesday to Bolivar for burial.
