    • A Fatal Auto Crash
      Damon Isaac Price, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Price of this county, who was injured in a car collision in Haskell county, Kansas, Thursday night, November 12, died at St. Anthony’s hospital in Dodge City, Kansas, Sunday morning, November 15, 1931.
      For the past 16 months Mr. Price had been a paper distributor for the Dodge City Globe, delivering that daily to ten Southwest Kansas towns. On this ill-fated trip, he had completed his route and was returning to Dodge City, when his machine and a car, driven by Chester Black, of Satanta, Kansas, collided at an intersection of two state highways.
      Price’s severest injuries consisted of fractures of the two upper vertebrae and a fractured skull. He was taken to a Dodge City hospital in an unconscious condition, and lingered on until last Sunday morning.
      Mr. Price was born July 28, 1904, in Marysville township, where he spent his boyhood days. There he worked on the farm and attended school at district 46. On October 16, 1928, Damn and Miss Lola Fay Dawson, daughter of Frank Dawson of Drexel, Mo., were married. He was employed at the state hospital in Osawatomie for five years, leaving there in the summer of 1930 to accept the Dodge City newspaper position in which capacity he was working at the time of his tragic death.
      Besides his parents, Mr. Price leaves his wife and three children – Lois Evelyn, aged two years, and Waneta Fawn and Wand Susanne, twins, who are six weeks old. Six brothers and three sisters also survive. They are: Herbert, who lives southeast of Paola; James Price of Patton, California; Clifford, of Dodge City; Milton Junior and Johnny Price, of the home; Mrs. Zephy Hampson, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Blanche Gilliland, Paola, and Mrs. Catherine Draper, of Eloise, Michigan.
      The body was brought to the home of Damon’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Price last Tuesday, and funeral services were held at the Methodist church in this city last Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. B.N. Sypolt, former Paola minister, who now resided in Leavenworth. Pallbearers were Clarence Matney, Albert Matney, Archie Gregge, Albert Sodaman, Glenn McHenry and Arthur Cromley – all friends and co-workers with the deceased when he was employed at the state hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Jyce sand three symns – “Sometime We’ll Understand,” “In the Garden” and “Going Down the Valley.” Interment was in the Paolo cemetery. – Paola Spirit.
