The Tahoka Avalanche November 25, 1947

"Elma Woodrow Webb, 23 year old oil field salesman of Tahoka, Texas, was killed instantly and Frank Stuart, Jr., 19, was in Tahoka clinic with a possible skull fracture following a head-on collision on the Tahoka-Post highway tonight. The crash occurred nearly two miles east of Tahoka on the Tahoka-Post highway. Sheriff Sam Floyd of Lynn county went to the scene and found that a 1946 model light car driven by Webb, an employee of Hughes Tool Company, had been going west toward Tahoka. A 1936 light two-door sedan driven by Stuart had been headed east toward Post. Both men were alone."
