The following was located in the files of the Breathitt County Library: The Jackson Times June 27, 1946, page 1 Killing of Woman on Highway Brings Investigation Coroner's verdict fails to satisfy circumstances officers say County officials are investigating the death of Mrs. Ressie Large, about 28, whose body was discovered on Highway 15 above Kragon early Tuesday morning. A coroner's jury early Tuesday morning returned a verdict of death caused by being struck by an automobile but later developments led officers to believe the woman may have met her death elsewhere and her body placed on the highway. A truck driver, who gave his name as Napier, reported finding the body. Sheriff G. L. Allen was summoned and Napier accompanied him back to the place where he saw the corpse. Allen stated that they reached the scene about 3:15 a.m. Coroner Roger Herald was called later and held the preliminary investigation which resulted in the verdict. While both Sheriff Allen and County Attorney Roscoe C. Back were reluctant to disclose for publication any of the evidence which led them to believe the coroner's verdict in error, it was learned that later examination of the body by Dr. M. E. Hoge, local physician, at the Ray and Blake Funeral Home showed wounds which the doctor expressed belief could not have been cause by a car. Mrs. Large was a daughter of Sherman Large of Rousseau and the wife of Crate Large, also of Rousseau, Sheriff Allen said. On Monday afternoon she was apprehended twice by the sheriff's office on a charge of drunkenness and vagrancy. She was released each time upon request of the arresting officers after she promised to return home. County officers promised release of facts, determined by their investigations as soon as completed.
