Daniel Crain, 3 « year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Brawton Crain of Shreveport
died at the St. Francis sanitarium, Monroe, Saturday night, from injuries
received Saturday morning at 8:30, when the car in which he was riding with
his aunt, Mrs. J. D. Ingouff, of Monroe, struck loose gravel on the Gaars Mill
road and ran into a ditch.  The accident occurred one mile south of Gaars
Store.  Mrs. Ingouff was enroute to Sikes to visit her mother, Mrs. A. L.
Crain.

When the Ford car which Mrs. Ingouff was driving struck loose gravel, she lost
control of the wheel and the car turned into a ditch hitting the embankment.

Edward, out of the machine.  The young boy was critically injured and
succumbed that night.  Edward Ingouff was unhurt but Mrs. Ingouff was
painfully bruised and cut and is receiving treatment at the St. Francis
sanitarium.

Funeral services for Daniel Crain were held Monday morning at 10:30 at
Shreveport with interment in the St. Joseph's cemetery.  Surviving are his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brawton Crain of Shreveport.  He also leaves his
