• Notes

  Obituary: Youth Killed At Seagraves SEAGRAVES (Special) - Funeral srvcies for a 17-year-old Seagraves youth, Kenneth Joe HIgh, who was killed Saturday night in a freak accident one mile from here on "Graveyard Road", were slated for 3 p.m., today in the Appleton Church of Christ. Burial will be in Seagraves Cemetery. The youth, a driller's helper in the oilfields, was riding on the fender of a car driven by Maxine Palmer, 17, also of Seagraves, when the accident occured about 10:30 p.m. Another youth, Milton Palmer, 16, Seagraves, was riding on the other front fender at the time, according to investigating highway patrolmen - the Gaines County sheriff's office and city officers. They said the car, owned and ridden in by Bernie Kuhn, 21, Denver City, was traveling about 20 miles an hour when High apparently fell. A front wheel passed over his legs according to the report, and he was rolled up under the vehicle before it could be stopped. The youth, conscious and talking, was taken to Seagraves Hospital by an ambulance summoned by one of the companions. He died of internal injuries, officers said, about midnight. An investigation of the fatality was underway today. The victim, son of Mr. and Mrs. H.B. High of Seagraves, was born June 4, 1937 in Seagraves. He attended public schools here. Survivors besides the parents include several brothers and sisters. (Published in The Odessa American in Odessa, TX on August 20, 1956)
