Ark. Gazette, Nov. 17, 1926, Tillar, Nov. 16 - James Hopkins, aged 40, Winchester timberman, was drowned about midnight last night, three miles south of Tillar when an automobile in which he was riding overturned into a ditch and pinned him down in about eight inches of water. The accident occurred on what is known as "Dead Man's Curve." LaFayette McGana, who has only one leg, was driving the car and a negro was riding in the front seat with him. When the car overturned, these two escaped, but Hopkins, who was riding in the rear seat, was caught beneath the wreckage. Passengers on a bus, which passed a few minutes after the accident lifted the wrecked automobile off Hopkins, and efforts were made to revive him. He is survived by his wife, three sisters, Miss Minnie Hopkins and Mrs. J.D. Heflin, Winchester, and Mrs. J.D. Baily, Pine Bluff; and one brother, the Rev. W.T. Hopkins, Methodist pastor of Montrose. Burial will take place at Star City at 1 tomorrow. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
