These are typed from photographed copies of many obituaries and death notices that I have in my collection. For many of them there is no indication of what newspaper they came from nor is a year indicated for some of them. Photo copies are sometimes hard to read or are damaged. Also, some of the obits and death notices may not be complete.

FOUND DEAD ON ROAD
BURLINGTON MAN IN FATAL CAR ACCIDENT NORTH OF MEMPHIS
The body of a man identified by his personal effects as W. E. Inman of Burlington, Iowa, was found beneath his overturned car in the grader ditch on Highway No. 15 near the W. E. Kirkpatrick farm, early Saturday morning by W. E. Baker and son, Hillis.
Not an unusual sight along a highway is a car resting on it’s [sic] side in the grader ditch and many people slow down and look to see if anyone is near the wreck. In this case only close scrutiny revealed the body of the man beneath the car.
Several motorists, it is said, had passed the wreck before Mr. Baker and son came along. When they neared the wrecked car, Mr. Baker told his son to stop and they would see how badly the car was wrecked. They drove a little past the car, stopped and got out. As they went around the back of the car in the ditch they saw Inman’s cheek and a part of the top of his head protruding from beneath the top of the car.
They immediately hailed a passing car, containing County Agent E. M. Woods, G. C. Myers and Frank Israel, who with Baker and son, lifted the car up on its wheels, took Inman out of the ditch and laid his body on the terrace at the side of the road.
Hillis Baker went to the Kirkpatrick home where he called Sheriff Paul E. Boise and Coronor [sic] E. E. Symmonds. By the time they arrived several cars had stopped and quite a crowd had gathered.
As soon as Sheriff Boise arrived he searched the body and found the drivers’ certificate and other papers by which Inman was identified.
In the car was a large box of clean rags, a suitcase containing some clothing, a white rabbit in a box, which was none the worse for the wreck. Hanging on the windshield of the car was a courtesy card issued to W. E. Inman from the City of Burlington, giving permission for parking without time limits. This fact led officers to believe that Inman lived in the country outside of Burlington.
The Inman car was heading south on the highway and about two hundred yards south of the Kirkpatrick home. The car tracks indicated that the car had nearly gone into the ditch on the west side of the road and had swerved across the road to the east side where it went into a shallow grader ditch and turned over on its side. From all indication the left front door of the car came open when the car struck the grader ditch on the east side and threw Inman partially or entirely out of the car as it went over on its side, pinning him beneath it.
Cororer [sic] Symmonds stated that he thought Inman’s death was due to injuries to his head.
It is also believed that the accident happened some time after daylight as the lights of the car were not on, although Coroner Symmonds indicated that Inman had been dead for some time. Some spectators advanced the theory that Inman’s car lights might have burned out and been the cause of the wreck. Later examination of the car revealed that the lights were in working order.
Inman’s body was brought to the Gerth & Baskett funeral parlors and the car was brought to the Harris Motor Company. The car is a 1923 Chevrolet coach.
Sheriff Boise, upon his arrival home, called Burlington and found that Inman’s mother lived on rural route 2 out of Burlington. Sheriff Boise was told that friends of Inman would come to Memphis and make the necessary arrangements regarding the body, which they did Saturday afternoon, and Inman’s body was returned to a funeral parlor at Burlington Sunday afternoon.
Sheriff Boise also learned that Inman was enroute to the home of his brother-in-law west of Baring to see his wife and two little sons when the accident happened.
