Little hope is held out for the recovery of Genevieve Hamilton, 6-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. S.J. Hamilton of Burnsville, who suffered a fracture of the skull and a broken leg Sunday when she was struck by an automobile driven by O.T. Huntley of Hendersonville, near her home. The child had not regained consciousness Monday afternoon.
Witnesses said the girl was playing in front of her home. Mr. Hutley drove by with his family. Genevieve darted out from the side of the road and Mr. Huntley’s car struck her, although he made an effort to turn aside. The accident was unavoidable, it was said.
Dr. J.B. Gibbs of Burnsville was summoned and with Dr. Hamilton he brought the girl to the Mission Hospital, where it was found that she had sustained a fractured skull, broken leg and other injuries. --Asheville Times
Mr. Huntley is Oscar Huntley of Forest City and his many friends sympathize with him in the deplorable accident. The child, we are informed, succumbed to her injuries on Monday evening.
