Also injured in the collision were Mr. Lamey, who received serious head and back injuries, and their niece, Beckie Griffin, 3 1/2, who also received serious head injuries. Mr. and Mrs. Lamey had spent a few days in Hot Springs on their honeymoon and had stopped at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Lamey in Pumpkin Bend. They were to drive their niece to her home in Steele, Mo., before returning to Indianapolis, Ind., where they were to make their home. Officers said that the Lamey car topped a hill travelling east toward Marked Tree and came upon a tractor driven by Archie Smith of Harrisburg. In an effort to avoid ramming the tractor, Lamey swerved the car and collided with a car driven by Charles J. Chapman of Harrisburg and occupied by Lloyd Hogue, also of Harrisburg. They were treated for minor injuries. Mrs. Lamey, the former Miss Ethel Marie Powell of Blytheville, was buried in Blytheville Sunday.
