The first fatal automobile accident for Oconee occurred last Friday afternoon in the New Hope section when a car driven by George Wyatt turned over, throwing the seven occupants of the car out, killing Miss Zella Boggs, seriously injuring young Wyatt and injuring slightly some of the other occupants. The cause of the accident is said to have been a defect in the steering gear of the machine. Young Wyatt purchased the car second-hand in Walhalla only a few days before the accident and just what went wrong is not definitely known. The New Hope roads are in fine condition for autmobile riding, and it is supposed that the car was going at a higher rate of speed than was realized by the happy crowd of young people. Whatever it was that went wrong it did so in the twinkling of an eye, the car was abruptly turned around, turning over on its side, and the occupants were thrown headlong from it. Miss Zella Boggs, aged 14 years, was thrown in such manner that her neck was broken, death resulting instantly. George Wyatt, driver of the car, was the most seriously hurt of those who escaped death, his collar bone being broken and his shoulder dislocated. The others suffered only from shock abd slight bruises though Miss Lottie Wyatt was rendered unconscious and remained in that condition until about ll o'clock Friday night. The occupants of the car were: George Wyatt, owner and driver of the car, Misses Marie and Zella Boggs, Pearl and Sallie White; Gladys and Lottie Wyatt. The young people were all of the community in which the accident, happened and all Children of Mr Wyatt; "Mrs. Eliza Boggs, Mr. and Mrs R. E. White.Miss Zella Boggs, who lost her life, was a daughter of Mrs. Eliza. Boggs, and was a young woman Of fine character and ability. While she had not joined the church, still she was a worker in the church and Sunday school, having been a musician of considerable ability, which gift she lent freely to church and Sunday school. Her remains were laid to rest in the New Hope cemetery Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the services' being largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev.W. T Land. The latest word we have heard from the young people who received injury in the unfortunate accident is to the effect that they are all getting along nicely.
