A head on collision of two automobiles Thursday morning at 7:05 on Charlotte Hwy (Hwy 29) resulted in the death of one man and the serious injury of three others.
Clyde Harris, 44, of 344 St. John Street died instantly in the crash.
The accident which demolished both cars happened on Cherry Hill bridge. (Back then it was a narrow 2 lane bridge.) The cars collided with such impact that a wrecker was required to separate them, officers said.
A 1956 Plymouth, driven by William B. Humphrey, 38, of Bethesda, Md. collided with a 1950 Oldsmobile, driven by Clarence Moore, 38, of Roebuck, Route 1, who was traveling west, County Officers Clarence Painter and Fred Phillips said.
Humphrey received multiple chest, leg, head and arm injuries. His condition at the Mary Black Hospital was reported Thursday night as serious. (He may have died later.)
Sam Jones, 58, of 212 Boundary Drive, who was riding in the back seat of the Oldsmobile, received broken ribs, a broken leg, nose and arm, fractured pelvis and severe injuries to the left eye. (He died later.)
Mr. Moore received a broken arm and multiple cuts and bruises. Mr. Moore and Mr. Jones are at the General Hospital.
The occupants of the Oldsmobile were returning home from work on the third shift at Converse Mill.

Mable Louise Cohen Harris was called Mimi by her grandchildren. Stan and I had been married 4 years when she died. In fact, we were living in a duplex just a block away from Dean and Carroll Hyatt while Mimi was living with them and when she died. She was always kind to me when I was around. My mother-in-law said she was a hard worker at the cotton mills. But she was not an affectionate person and her children seemed to have sort of raised themselves as she worked all the time. She died of lung cancer. Stan and I stayed one night with her at the hospital near the end and it was terrible to hear her trying to breath. Just 8 years later, one of her sons, Stan's Dad, would also die of lung cancer. Billy was only 56 yrs old when he died of cancer. I know his was from smoking all his life. And then, his son, Donnie Harris, died of COPD when he was only 56 years old due to life long smoking. So lung cancer runs in the family.
