  <p>Information: Death rode the highways in Jackson County on Christmas Eve and when the dead and injured were counted police reported that two persons had lost their lives and several others had been injured and the highway fatality record for the county had reached a new high mark in the 3 year.  One of the fatalities was Ruby Stalnaker, of Sandyville, who died of a broken neck as she was admitted to the Kessel Hospital in Ripley.  She was fatally injured when the Ford pick-up truck which she was driving wrecked near the home of E. T. Hardesty, above Odaville.  Hr. Hardesty and L. P. Hardesty rushed to the scene and dragged the victim from the wreckage and rushed them to a hospital.  Miss Stalnaker&#39;s brother, Harley, and his wife, Inez, who were also riding in the truck, each sustained broken knees and other injuries.  Mrs. Stalnaker in addition to the broken knee had a broken collarbone and all the ribs on the left side were broken.  Mr. Stalnaker in addition to the broken knee had severe lacerations.  [from the Betty Kessel McIntyre obit collection]</p>
