Tallulah Youth Killed In Crash Saturday Night

Norris Glen White, 16 years old, Tallulah High school student, was fatally injured when the automobile 
he was driving overturned one mile east of Delhi on highway 80 about 11 P. M. Saturday night.

According to authorities the car, en route to Tallulah, went off the north shoulder of the road and White, 
in attempting to get it back on the road, lost control of the car, and it then overturned and skidded some 
distance and hit a tree. A passing motorist, Jimmy Campbell, of Yazoo City, Miss., took the occupants to 
a Delhi hospital. White, who suffered a skull fracture and brain injury, died at 6 A. M. Sunday without 
having regained consciousness. Miss Catherine Carter, who received a fractured ankle and lacerations, was 
taken to a Vicksburg hospital, where it is reported that she is doing very well. Douglas Fortner, another 
occupant of the car, escaped uninjured. The car was wrecked.

Funeral services for the youth were held at the Crothers Funeral chapel here Monday afternoon with the 
Rev. Clarence Crow officiating. The body was taken to Rosetta, Miss., where services were concluded and 
followed by interment there.

White is survived by his father, Marcel White, and his step-mother, two brothers, Larry Jan and James Dean White, 
all of Tallulah, and two sisters, Nancy White, of Tallulah, and Mrs. Earline Crooks, of Oakland, Calif.
