Although several new clues have been uncovered and are regarded as quite promising, by state highway patrolmen of the Huntingdon sub-station, no arrests have as yet been made in connection with the death of James C. Figard, jr., aged 19, of East Saxton, who was fatally injured by a hit-and-run motorist near Saxton on Sunday evening, Nov. 9.
The young man suffered a severe fracture of the skull and fracture of the shoulder in the accident. He was rendered unconscious and died less than an hour later at his home, to which he was moved after being given first aid at the office of a Saxton physician.
The accident occurred about 7.30 o'clock Sunday evening as Figard and Donald Baker, also of East Saxton, were walking along the highway between Saxton and Coalmont, on the way to attend evangelistic services at the Coalmont Methodist church. The two young men were walking along the side of the road and Figard was thrown some distance when struck by the automobile. Baker was not injured.
James C. Figard, jr., was born at Six Mile Run, March 5, 1911, a son of James C. and Alice (Johnson) Figard. He was graduated from the Stonerstown High school with honors in this year's class. For the past two summers he had attended the citizens military training camp at Camp Perry, O., winning a marksmanship award, along with another Saxton youth, from among approximately 800 citizen soldiers.
Surviving are his parents, two brothers and five sisters, Sharon and Willard, at home, Mrs. Charles Wells of East Orange, N. J., Louise, Alice, Janet and Nannie, all at home. He was a member of the Saxton Church of God and Sunday school. The funeral was held Wednesday, Nov. 12. Interment was made in the Odd Fellows cemetery at Saxton.
Mrs. Jennie Nicodemus of 111 Twenty-second avenue, was an aunt of the unfortunate youth and has just returned to the city after attending the funeral.
