| Notes From an old scrapbook of newspaper clippings and obituaries donated by Zoe Hazelwood of Paris, TX; Jan. 25, 1938. 'MACK THOMPSON DIES OF INJURIES IN CRASH OF CAR AND FIRE TRUCK. Delivery Car and Fire Truck Collide Here. FIRE TRUCK DRIVER HAS WRENCHED BACK. Intersection of South Fifteenth and Kaufman Streets Crash Scene. 'Collision of a fire truck and a pickup delivery car about 10:15 o'clock Tuesday night at the intersection of West Kaufman and South Fifteenth streets resulted in the death of Mack Thompson, 45, J. R. Murphy Drug Store employee. Thompson, in the store truck was headed north enroute to his home on West Houston Street, and the fire truck answering an alarm to the Church of God on South Twelfth street, was going west. The left front side of the fire truck and the right front of the delivery car collided. Bill Moomaw, fireman, swerved his machine up a three-foot terrace at the Henry P. Mayer home, narrowly missing a fire plug, and taking a path directly between two trees growing at the edge of the yard. The delivery car was thrown about 25 or 30 feet by the impact, stopping against the curb on the south side of Kaufman street, opposite the Mayer property. The right front wheel was torn off and the right door of the machine smashed. Thompson was taken to the Sanitarium of Paris, where he died a few minutes later, of a basal fracture of the skull. Emberson-Brown-Roden funeral home took charge of the body. None of the four firemen on the truck were injured except Moomaw, whose back was strained. Wando Park, John Kirkpatrick, and Bobby Upchurch were on the truck with him. The fire at the church was started by a gas explosion resulting from a leak under the building.' [The rest of the article is missing. Captioned underneath 2 pictures, 1 of the delivery car and 1 of the fire truck is 'Taken at the scene of the collision resulting in the death of Mack Thompson, Tuesday night, these Paris News staff pictures show the damage to the R. J. Murphy Drug store delivery car and the Big Mack truck of the Paris fire department. In the upper picture, Troy McCormick, motorcycle patrolman is taking notes for his official report on the damage to the delivery car. Right front wheel torn off, fender crumpled, door caved in and windshield glass shattered. Damage to the fire truck is less evident, only a damaged fender being noticeable in the lower picture, but the motor was disabled and the truck, Mayor J. M. Crook said Wednesday, is being torn down to determine the full extent of the damage'. Sexton records of Evergreen have no indication of this burial. Buried next to Mabry Grace Thompson. Information from J. P. Woodard, 220 Chateau Dr., Ft. Worth, TX, 76134, 3 Sep 1995: he married Mabry Grace Duncan. |
