The man was walking along the road between Kingston and Big Hill when he was fatally struck by a passing motor vehicle. Field was found lying along the side of the road by three persons, Robert Rose, Dora Callahan, and Elbert Callahan, all of Jackson county, with whom he had been with earlier in the evening. According to his companions, Field had driven with them to Richmond. When the party returned to Kinston, Field argued with the three and decided to walk to Big Hill and was fatally injured after he had walked about five miles. Rose and the Callahans drove by and asked Field to ride but Field refused. The trio then drove on to Big Hill and filled the car with gas and returned to find Field. The three men found Field dead on the side of the road. The body was brought to the Turpin Funeral Home where a coroners inquest was held Sunday morning at 10 a.m. Coroner William Jenkins of Newby, KY stated that the man met his death by means of a motor vehicle driven by a party unknown. Field's body was removed to Jackson County for burial. --- Monday Richmond Register
