C O. Joyner Dies From Injuries in Auto Mishap

Channie O. Joyner, 66, of Pulaski R.D. 3, a retired employe of the Blount Lumber Co. at Lacona, died Friday at Good Samaritan Hospital in Watertown of injuries received in a three-car accident on Rt. 11, three miles north of Pulaski, Thursday evening.

Funeral services were held Monday at 2;p. m. at the Weston and Woodard Funeral Home in Sandy Creek with the Rev. W. Russell Clark, pastor of the Pulaski Methodist Church, officiating. Spring burial will be in Pulaski Cemetery.

Besides his wife, the former Miss Minnie L. Secor, he is survived by four daughters, Gloria, Verna, Watha and Debra, all at home; two sons, Hugh and Channie, Jr., at home; three sisters, Mrs. Arthur Hilton and Mrs. Harold Mandigo, both of Orwell, and Mrs. Harriett Lyons of Pierrepont Manor.

Mr. Joyner was born in Greenboro on March 4, 1896, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Joyner. He attended the Redfield school and was employed by the Blount Lumber Company at Lacona as a laborer. He retired two years ago.

According to Pulaski State Police, Mr. Joyner was attempting to push by hand a car owned by Louis Benway, 40, of Pulaski R.D. 4, from a driveway as Milton D. Stewart, 19, of Sandy Creek, pulled the vehicle with his car.

A third vehicle, operated by Arthur E. Olmstead, 48, was traveling south. Olmstead said he passed the Stewart car and did not see the Benway vehicle which was partly in the driveway. He said he was blinded by Stewart's headlights. The Olmstead car struck the right rear of the Benway vehicle pushing it into Joyner. The road was wet and visibility poor, Sgt. E. B. Colleti said.

Mr. Joyner received a cervical spinal fracture, paralyzing him from the waist down, severe abrasions and lacerations of the face and a laceration to the right knee.
