Boyd Huffhines Killed In Accident
The town was made sad by the death of Boyd Huffhines who was a friend to all.
Thursday night about 9:30 o'clock Boyd and Will Lynn, the motor cop, were riding on the pike, each on his own motor cycle,, when the sad accident occurred and Boyd was suddenly hurled from his machine and seriously injured. He was taken to his home and rushed immediately to the hospital where he died at 1:30 o'clock Friday morning. Every possible service from the doctors at the St. Paul Sanitarium was rendered to restore the life of this young  man, but to no avail as his skull had been crushed in the accident.
When the accident occurred, Mr. Lynn was riding about 100 feet ahead of Boyd and had just passed a car coming towards them. Boyd, blinded by the light of the coming car, plunged into the back end of a buggy as he made an effort to give part of the rode to the car. He could not see the buggy as it had no lights.  The horse was driven by a colored man, but he was not injured. The accident occurred on the pike about 1 1-2 miles south of Farmers Branch.
Boyd had lived in Carrollton since his birth and was loved by all, as he continually made friends. he was eighteen years of age and a member of the Methodist church of Carrollton. At the time of his death he held a good position with the Western Union Telegraph Co. of Dallas where he had been working for many months. The statement was made by the employer, together with the girls in the office, that Boyd was one of their most satisfactory and efficient employees and that his place would be hard to fill.
The funeral was held in the Methodist church and the body was taken to Mount Calvery cemetery for burial. There was a large attendance at the funeral. Many friends of the family who live in Dallas came out to be with the bereaved parents.
Rev. Gillium, pastor of the Methodist church made a beautiful talk at the funeral, also Rev. Jackson of Richardson. The songs sung were "Nearer My God To The", "In the Sweet Bye and Bye", and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" song as a solo. Eight young men, who were close friends of Boyds, acted as pallbearers and four girls carri8ed the flowers. The floral offerings were beautiful
Boyd is survived by his father, mother, and three brothers and many other relatives. The many friends extend their sincere sympathy to the bereaved parents and that God may be their comfort is our prayer.
