WOMAN STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE DEC. 21 DIES
Mrs. Inez Palmer, 70, of 2113 South High street, died at her home at 8:48 o'clock last night of injuries she suffered last December 21 when she was struck by a car at Fourteenth and Walnut streets. Although Coroner Sam Drake said Mrs. Palmer's death was contributed to a heart seizure, he reported that the multiple injuries she received when she was hit by the car were the direct cause of death. She was only recently released from Ball Memorial Hospital.
Her death was the third traffic fatality to be recorded in Muncie this year, and it brought to a total of six the deaths caused in Delaware County in 1950 by traffic mishaps. At this time last year, there were only four persons dead because of traffic accidents.
Mrs. Palmer was hit at 6:59 o'clock at night by an auto driven by Mrs. Mary Lavon Fahl, of 1800 South Walnut Street. Police exonerated Mrs. Fahl after witnesses said Mrs. Palmer stepped directly in the path of the car.
Mrs. Palmer had been a Muncie resident for 50 years, coming here from Bluffton. She was a member of the First Baptist Church, of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Eagles, of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Moose, of the Ben Hur, the Daughters of America, Ladies of the G. A. R., Pocahontas Lodge and several social clubs.
