Thursday, March 28, 1929 pg. 1 Sherman Man Is Killed In Auto Sherman - Irwin Culver Harris, 36, a native of Sherman and prominent in Masonic circles, was found dead early Tuesday morning lying near his automobile in a vacant lot north of the North Travis street bridge. Death resulted from an injury to the spinal column incurred when Mr. Harris lost control of the automobile and drove over the curb and a steep terrace into the lot, in the opinion of physicians who examined the body. Mr. Harris evidently had been driving north toward his home when the left rear fender of the car struck a part of the bridge and moved the car sufficiently out of its course to prevent the driver from turning to the right around the curve in the road at t hat point. Mr. Harris apparently had gotten out of the car and fallen backward when he stepped out onto the ground.
