Adolph, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brauer of Ridgeway, died Monday night and was buried from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church near Ridgeway Tuesday afternoon.
The child was fatally injured on Sunday morning when his skull was fractured in an automobile wreck which occurred at the Norlina underpass. Mr. Brauer and his six-months-old son were riding in a car driven by George Herrin, also of the Ridgeway community, when Herrin’s car and one driven by Lewis B. Cawthorne of Norlina ran together. Herrin was coming from Warrenton. Cawthorne entered the underpass from the opposite side, just back of a car driven by Everett L. Hicks, also of Norlina. Hicks turned to the left just out of the underpass and in trying to avoid striking Hicks, Herring turned out on the wrong side and was struck by Cawthorne’s car as it emerged from the underpass.
Mr. Brauer sustained a cut over one eye, Herring had some bruises, but Cawthorne was unhurt.
