THE FLAGLER TRIBUNE
Bunnell, Florida
Thursday, February 3, 1927

 

News reached here last week too late for publication disclosed the death of Mrs. Ira Mauldin, who, with her husband and little girl, lived here a number of years, removing to Aston early last year.

According to a story published in the Umatilla Tribune, the Ford roadster in which Mrs. Mauldin was driving, turned over from an unknown cause, killing Mrs. Mauldin but the child escaped with slight injuries.

The story in the Umatilla Tribune is as follows:

Mrs. Ida Malden, driving a Ford roaster to her home near Astor, and accompanied by her four-year old daughter, was killed when the machine overturned from some undetermined cause on rounding a curve near Astor on Tuesday morning this week.

The unfortunate woman was picked up by a passerby and carried to Astor and Dr. Harman of Eustis, summoned. Arrival of the physician shortly after proved unavailing, life passed away within a few hours from fracture of the vertebrae and internal injuries. The little child though severely shaken up was apparently not seriously injured.

Mrs. Maldin was the wife of Ira Malden, employed on the shell mound works near Astor, where they resided. She was originally a native of Cheraw, S. C. and was 27 years of age.

The body was brought on Tuesday afternoon to Beyers Funeral Home in Umatilla, for embalming and was sent that same evening to Cheraw, S. C. for burial.
