Zeb B. Alley of Cashiers Valley was killed about 4 miles from here early Sunday morning on the Cullowhee Road when the car he was riding in was forced off the road by a passing truck going in the direction of Cullowhee, it is said. Mr. Alley was riding in a car with Mr. H.C. Moss and Mr. Moss was painfully injured but it is stated that his injuries are not serious.
Mr. D.D. Alley, son of Mr. Alley in company with Mr. Kay Bumgarner, had left Cashiers about the same time, and when Mr. Alley’s father failed to arrive in town after some time Doyle became uneasy about his father and started back to see what had gone wrong, finding him dead near the Silas Davis place.
Mr. Alley is a brother of Hon. F.E. Alley of Waynesville, John Alley of Cullowhee and Mr. Jim Alley, a merchant of South Carolina.
He is survived by his wife and five children, one son, Doyle D. Alley of this city, and four daughters, Mrs. Smithton of Ashville, Mrs. Dunn and Mrs. Frank Morrison, both of whom are in Washington, and Mrs. Chanchee of Hyattsville, Md.
Mr. Alley was one of the best known citizens of the county. He will be buried in Whiteside Cove this afternoon, funeral being conducted by Rev. Mr. Medford, assisted by Rev. Tom Hawkins and Rev. Frank Bumgarner.
