6-Year-Old Huffman
Youth Is Killed When
Hit By Passing Car
By Al'BKEY BANKS
The gay laughter of six-year-old George Darrel Smith
had been stilled forever Thursday.
And the sickening sight of the accident which tragically
snuffed out the handsome blond youngster’s life will be
etched in the memory of his 8-year-old brother, Donald.
The two boys jumped from a pickup truck driven by Mrs.
E. M. Dunks of Huffman about 4:15 p.m. Wednesday when
young Darrell, son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Smith of
Huffman, was killed when struck by a car driven by John-
ny E. Willaby, 21, of Highlands.
No charges were filed in
