Crash Victim Fair Two More Satisfactory
A Coal City youth is in fair condition at Beckley Hospital and an Ohio man and his two-year-old son are in satisfactory condition at Raleigh General Hospital after two Saturday traffic accidents. Ross McKay Stump, 19, of Coal City, was a passenger in a 1953 car that killed two Crab Orchard youths on Secondary Route 29. Jack Lee Keffer, 18, and Hubert Eugene Graham, 17, the driver, died in the crash. The second wreck at Main and Heber Streets in Beckley involved a 1959 station wagon carrying Garland Workman and his two-year-old son Larry Steve, who were hospitalized. Kenneth Workman, 18, of Ohio, is held on drunk driving and property destruction charges. The text includes a recruitment insertion about Army active-duty service terms and local recruitment contacts.
