*Obituary
rs. Arlene Smith, 27, wife of Sam S. Smith of Madisonville KY, and formerly a Blytheville resident, died at the Hopkins County Hospital at Madisonville Tuesday from injuries received when the automobile in which she and her husband and three children were riding overturned. Mr. Smith is in Hopkins County Hospital suffering from chest injuries, and although he is in a serious condition hospital attendants said today that he would recover. The accident occurred on US Highway 60 between Sullivan and Marion KY, as the Smith family was within 40 miles of home, returning from a visit with relatives in Blytheville, Mr. Smith apparently fell asleep at the wheel and the car turned over on the highway completely demolishing it. Only one of the three children, 12-year old Sam, Jr. was injured. His injuries were slight and required no hospital care, Jimmie, about eight, and Angela, one and a half, were uninjured. Mrs. Smith’s body is to be returned to Blytheville for burial. The Smiths left Promised Land about two years ago to make their home in Madisonville KY, where he was a welder with a mining concern. Mrs. Smith was the former Miss Arlene Justice of Blytheville and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Justice, who also reside in Madisonville. Her twin sister, Mrs. Thomas West, two half-brothers, H. A. and Thomas Tedder, and a half-sister, Mrs. Chester Haynie, reside in Madisonville. Other survivors include a brother, Alvin B. Justice in California, another half-sister, Mrs. Henry Umfleet in Missouri. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had been visiting his sister , Mrs. Felix Hill at Promised Land, who left last night for Madisonville after receiving word of the accident. Mrs. Leon Wilson, Calvin Hill and Miss Margaret Ann Hill accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Hill, their parents. Mrs. Curtis Pennington, who resides at 210 West Cherry, was an aunt of the accident victim. H. A. Tedder is enroute here to complete funeral arrangements. The Courier News, Wednesday, September 7, 1949.
