MR. FRENCH'S CONDITION REMAINS UNCHANGED
The condition of Mr. Alex French the aged citizen injured by an automobile on Sunday afternoon remains about the same.
It was found that both of the old gentleman's legs were broken, and considering his advanced years it is feared that the bones will never heal.
Fortunately, Mr. French suffers no pain, as the injury seems to have completely paralyzed his lower limbs.
He has no recollection of the manner in which the accident occurred.
Vicksburg Evening Post, July 22, 1918:

The following gentlemen served as pall bearers, all being grandsons of the deceased gentleman: E. Bonelli, Jr., Joe. Bonelli, A. E. Bonelli, W. A. Gibson, and D. L. Gibson, Jr.
Mr. French was 80 years of age and his death occurred as the result of an automobile accident a week ago, in which he was knocked down while attempting to cross the street ahead of a machine, the driver of which had no notice of his presence until he stepped off the sidewalk directly in front of the car.
Mr. French, who has been a resident of this city for many years is survived by three daughters, Mrs. E. Bonelli, Sr., and Mrs. D. L. Gibson of this city and Mrs. E. B. Foss of Maine.
