"FARWELL CHILDREN INJURED IN CRASH. Car Overturns Twice on Highway Just West of Farragut".-- Out of danger following treatment with lockjaw serun, the five children of Clyde Farwell, a farmer living just west of Farragut,. were recovering at their home today from injuries received in an automobile accident, Tuesday. The five youngsters, Norma Jean, Jack, Maurice, Bob and Rex, were in a car driven by the eldest, Norma Jean, when it was struck and overturned twice at an intersection near the Stanley Hopkins farm, west of Farragut. Harold Peterson of Tabor, was driving the other vehicle. Both cars were completely wrecked. Most seriously injured were Jack whose head was cut and required several stitches, and baby Rex, whose arm was cut to the bone. Clyde Farwell is the son of J. B.Farwell of Walnut township. N.B.: This accident occurred one-fourth mile south of where we lived in Prairie township, and at the Hopkins - Story intersection on the short cut between Sidney and Farragut, as it was known then. Previously, it had been the old state highway called "South Tier"....Bill Story and his housekeeper, Katie Nicolas, had been sitting outside under a shade tree and saw the two cars collide at the intersection just east of Bill's lot. I (the "Maurice" in this account) was knocked unconscious, and had fallen onto the floor in the back seat. When I "came to", it was sometime before I was aware of all of the excitement going on around, and decided I would climb out of whereever I was, and see what was going on. "There comes another one out of that car!" was yelled by someone, as I climbed out of one of the windows on the passenger side. (The Ford was laying on its side.) "Now, will someone please check that car again and see if there are anymore kids in it?" Just how long I had been in there, I don't know, but Jack had already been taken to Dr. Baldwin's office in Riverton, I remember. Walt Matthews, who lived just north us, took me home, and had his boys carry me around in their toy wagon.--W.F.
