6-Year-Old Clifton Girl Killed by Auto, Aug. 28, 1923

Little Girl Killed by Automobile

Louis, the six-year-old daughter of A.B. Clifton of Oxford, was killed by an automobile driven by W.C. Lowery at Wake Forest Saturday afternoon.

According to reports reaching the solicitor here today, Lowery was given a hearing Monday night by Mayor Mills of Wake Forest and released. The case will not be so easily disposed of, however.

Solicitor Evans will make a thorough investigation of the affair. Reports at his office are that the child’s parents were not present at the hearing and that the grandmother, an eye-witness, of course, was not examined.

From the front page of the Durham Morning Herald, Tuesday, Aug. 28, 1923. Was Louis the correct spelling of the name of the six-year-old girl, or was it supposed to be Louise?
