New Coroner
FRKH 15. HIGHT
Fred 13. Might late Sunday became
coroner of Vance county to succeed
E. O. Falkner, who was elevated to
Clerk of Vance Superior Court by ap
pointment of Judge R. Hunt Parker
Saturday afternoon. Under the law a
vacancy in the office must be filled
by appointment of the clerk of the
court, so that it fell to Mr. Falkner’s
lot to name his own successor.
The appointment was speeded up
and was made Sunday evening be
cause of a fatal stabbing during the
afternoon which required an investi
gation by the coroner.
Mr. Might sieved in the office for
eight to ten years up to two years
ago. He is now a member of the
Henderson City Council frfom the
third ward, but County Attorney A.
A. Bunn ruled that the two did not
conflict under the law, and the ap
pointment was made. The work of
the office is entirely familiar to Mr.
Hight through his former long serv
ice.
