The News-Sentinel 1959 - Fulton County Public Library

The sheriff’s office learned that Fry apparently was attempting to arrive home by the 10
p.m. curfew established on week nights for the Fulton basketball players.
After the car went out of control, it went off the south side of the county blacktop road,
careened back onto the road, smashed into a cement gateway post on the north side of the road,
then wrapped around the other cement gateway post.
Sheriff Willard CLARK said the car looked like it had exploded. Parts of it--such as the
battery and the tool box from the trunk--were scattered about, some of them 65 feet from the car
itself, Clark said.
Although it was eight yours before the crash was discovered, the Fulton county coroner’s
office said the nature of injuries indicated the boy had been killed instantly. X-rays still were
being inspected today to determine the exact injuries.
Donal Lee Fry was born in Kewanna on Oct. 18, 1942, and was a member of the E.U.B.
church.
Surviving, besides the parents, are two sisters, Mrs. Jack (Lelia) WALTZ, Fulton, and
Pamela Jean [FRY], at home; a brother, David Lynn [FRY], at home; the paternal grandmother,
Mrs. Vern FRY, Fulton, and the maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin McCLAIN,
Kewanna.
Services will be at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the Fulton E.U.B. church, with the Rev. Arthur
TRUEX officiating. Burial will be in the Fulton cemetery.
Friends may call at the Ditmire funeral home in Fulton after 7 p.m. today and at the
church one hour before services.
