The most destructive fire of the 12-month period of 1963 was on September 8, when the Bastow Feed and Grain
incurred damages approximating $30,000.
Ivan Everett KIMBALL, 22, of Mount Ayr, escaped injury Sunday afternoon about 2:30 p.m., in a one-car accident
six miles south and one-fourth mile east of Mount Ayr. The car hit a snowdrift in the road, which caused it to
upset and land on its top. Damage to the 1954 Ford was approximated at $300 by Sheriff Elbert STRANGE, who
investigated the accident.
Roy D. MULLENAX, mathematics instructor and assistant football coach in the local high school since 1957, died suddenly
Saturday night in the Ringgold County Hospital after suffering a heart attack.
