BOY HIT BY CAR NEAR LITTLETON DIES IN HOSPITAL •lames Edward Shearin, 12, died in the Roanoke Rapids Hospital late Friday afternoon from injuries received earlier in the day when his bicycle was struck by a car driven by Harvey Hazelwood of Roanoke Rapids. The accident took place on the highway between Roanoke Rapids and Littleton, near the boy’s home four miles from Littleton. The boy's head struck a hinge on the door of the car, the skull was ripped open and he never regained consciousness. Rushed to the Roa noke Rapids Hospital by Charles Lambeth of Littleton, who happen ed to pass the scene immediately after, Mrs. Drew Shearin, the boy's mother, and Hazelwood, James was barely alive on reaching the hospital and died three hours later. Officers who investigated say it was unavoidable. However, a hear ing has been set for this Wednes day. Mr. Hazelwood, along with L. A. Ashton and S. G. Quinn, was on his way to Littleton. The boy on the bicycle was on his way home from a nearby country store. The car was traveling at a moderate rate of speed. The boy was riding on the same side of the road as the car. When Hazelwood blew his horn to pass, the boy turned his bi cycle in the same direction the car was passing. Hazelwood pulled the car to the left until he was traveling partly on the left shoul der with the boy still in front and then came the accident. All say it happened very quickly after they started to pass the boy on the bi cycle. Funeral services for the boy were held at Enterprise Church at 3 p. m. Sunday with the Rev. G. A. Hendricks officiating. He is survived by his parents, one brother, D. S. Shearin Jr., two half-sisters and two half-brothers. Pallbearers were: Messrs.
