Two Babies, Injured
Girl Are New Victims
Oklahoma highways Sunday had taken their
biggest toll of 1950 as two babies were killed and a girl
injured Saturday night died. Their deaths pushed the holiday
weekend tool to eight.
An infant boy, only three weeks old, was fatally injured in a
one-car accident Sunday afternoon 2 ½ miles south of White
Oak, Craig county, on U.S. 66. The baby, Mark David
Faulstiph, died at 8:15 p.m. Sunday in Vinita General
hospital of a crushed head and chest.
In the Craig county wreck, Ramon E. Faulstiph, about 21, Los
Angeles, Calif., was driving the car when he lost control
and overturned in the ditch at the side of the road, Ira
Walkup, highway patrol trooper, said.
Faulstiph, his wife, and 2-year-old Steve, Faulstiph’s
brother, all received cuts and bruises and were taken to
Vinita General hospital. The dead infant’s grandmother, Mrs.
Irene Faulstiph, 45, was taken to the hospital with several
broken ribs.
