  	Maryville Daily Forum, "Clark Boy Killed In Auto Accident Near Braddyville Iowa Women Dangerously Injured in Collision Saturday Night. Six Skidmore Youths Serve as Pallbearers Roland Clark, 19 years of age, was killed almost instantly Saturday night in an automobile collision five miles east and two and a half miles north of Braddyville, Ia. He was driving alone en route to Maryville from a farm near Braddyville where he was employed. He generally visited over the week ends with his sisters in Maryville. A woman and a child in the other automobile were critically injured, and another woman's injuries were less serious. Mrs. Forrest Richardson of Shambaugh is in a hospital at Shenandoah, Ia., where her condition is said to be critical. She suffered a broken pelvic bone and crushed vertebrae. Mrs. Billy Babb, also of Shambaugh, is being treated at her home, but her 2 1/2 year-old daughter is in an Iowa City hospital. View Obstructed The young man was said to have been driving east and was turning south at an intersection. A slight knoll at the turn apparently obstructed the view from the south and the car in which the women were driving struck Clark's automobile in the side. Both cars were demolished. Clark was the son of John Lawson Clark of Skidmore. His mother lives in Arkansas. He was born July 4, 1920, at Amy, Mo. Besides his father and mother, Clark leaves two brothers and four sisters: Raymond Clark, Skidmore; David Clark, Long Beach, Calif.; Misses Edna and Thelma Clark and Mrs. Marian Carroll, 122 East Jenkins, Maryville; Mrs. Floyd Debord, Hocomo, Mo. Classmates Pallbearers Funeral services were held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Price funeral home in Maryville. Rev. Fred Terry officiated. The burial was in the Oak Hill cemetery. Six of the youth's classmates served as pallbearers: Homer Dean Beverlin, Richard Worl, Harry Mitchell, Jr., Robert Mitchell, Gene Thompson and Donald Blackney, all of Skidmore."
