BOY ANO 61RL KILLO IN AUTO ACCIOENT -0--o Rodney Simon, age 19, of Crowley and Ruth Sutter, age 18, of Roanoke. were killed in an auto accident last Friday night between ten and eleven o'clock on the ro:d between Crowley and Rayne. The fatalities were caused by the auto in which they were rid ing turning turtle at a grade crossing between the two towns. From the na ture of the wounds it is believed that Miss Sutter was instantly killed, al though Mr. Simon lived probably 30 minutes after the accident.. No one saw the accident and therefore exact details were unknown. The couple were seen in Crowley only a short while before the overturned car and the two victims were discovered on the roadside. The bodies were taken to the Si mon home in Crowley, the remains of Miss Sutter being later brought to the home of her father, Albert Sutter, in Roanoke, from where the funeral ser vices were held at two o'clock Satur day afternoon, following which the re mains were laid to rest in Oaklawn cemetery in Welsh. Miss Sutter was a very popular young lady in the community. She graduated from the Roanoke high school In 1920, teaching school the F t tnrm AT THE AUDITORIUM 1 Tonight, Saturday, Sept. 3rd.
