(Buddy) Randolph, Wickenburg resident who was fatally injured in an automobile accident at 10:45 p.m. Monday, will be conducted by Dr. Charles S. Poling in the Wickenburg Chapel at 11 o'clock this (Friday) morning. Burial will follow in the Wickenburg Cemetery. According to Highway Patrolman Hobe Smith, who investigated the accident, Randolph was driving east in a 1950 Dodge sedan on the wrong side of the road and crashed head on into a truck driven by Michael E, Hickey of Phoenix and traveling toward Wickenburg. Smith says the truck driver, in a last minute effort to avoid the collision, tried to swerve to the side of the road. The impact caused the truck to turn over in a cut on the side of the road about 100 feet this side of the Lazy RC I entrance. Hickey was driving from Marana, Ariz., to Portland, Ore., with a Payne & Donaldson truck of Tucson loaded with cottonseed meal. Asleep in the truck was the relief driver, Ralph Olds of Tucson. Neither Hickey nor Olds were injured. Randolph died before he could be removed from the ambulance at Community Hospital. He was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Charles Randolph of Parker, formerly of Wickenburg. Mrs. Randolph manages Johnson's store in Parker. Mr. Randolph, an employee of Mohave Mining & Milling Co., was born March 7, 1926, in Flagstaff. He attended school in Winslow, served three enlistments in the Navy during and following World. War II, and moved to Wickenburg two years ago. Surviving, in addition to the parents, are two brothers, Ervan of Wickenburg and Charles M.of Butte, Mont., and one sister, Mrs. Jimbob Mayben of Wickenburg. Also surviving are Mr. & Mrs. Walter Drye of Flagstaff, grandparents. See Also: Find a Grave |
