1 Dead, 3 Hurt In Wreck Near Homer Village
---Sixty-eight year-old Thelma Irene Hamilton, 209 N. Sophia in Homer, was killed instantly at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday when she was a passenger in an auto involved in a three-vehicle crash on M-60 west of Homer.
---Taken to Albion Community hospital by Marshall ambulance were Jessie Chapman, 76, of 205 W. Leigh, Homer; Marian Louise Bacon, 42, 408 W. Everett, Homer; and four-month-old Della Cockrell, a passenger in the auto driven by Marian Bacon.
---Mrs. Champan was later transferred to Ann Arbor where she is reported in poor condition, while Marion Bacon was treated and released from Albion Community with the child kept overnight for observation.
---State police in Tekonsha said that a pick-up truck driven by 54-year-old Owen Betz of Route 2, Marshall, was traveling west on M-60 near 20 Mile Road at about 25 m.p.h. when the care driven by Marian Bacon approached from the rear.
---The woman attempted to pass the truck, which was hauling a wagon filled in corn, and saw another auto approaching from the west.
---The Bacon car then swerved back into the westbound lane, striking the wagon hauled by the pick-up truck. The impact threw her car back into the passing lane where it collided with the oncoming auto carrying the two elderly women.
---Marian Bacon and the Cockrell child got out of the auto as it burst into flames, which were later extinguished by the Homer fire department.
---Miss Hamilton was pronounced dead at the scene from head injuries. State troopers said the accident is still under investigation with no prosecution taken as yet. Thelma Hamilton's death boosted the county traffic death toll for the year to 38.
---The deceased was born July 16, 1901, in Homer township to William T. and Lena (Boyd) Hamilton. She spent her life in the Homer area, moving to the village in 1916, and graduating from Homer High School in 1921.
