The truck, a Farmers Exchange truck at Exeter, was driven by Ot Sapp who has worked for years for the Exchange at Exeter. Sapp had been to Springfield on business for the Exchange and was returning home. Some school children were on the highway near the Butterfield school buildings. Another motor vehicles was approaching and Sapp says in watching the other vehicle he did not see the boy who with other children seemed to have been playing along the Highway. County Coroner Floyd C. Callaway of Monett was notified of the accident and after investigating decided that the facts were so clear an inquest was unnecessary. George Ray, who lives near where the accident occurred, stated Wednesday while in Cassville that it was an unavoidable accident on the part of Mr. Sapp. Raymond is a son of Tom Watson. The family had formerly lived about Butterfield, and had later moved away. Raymond had been back for two weeks and was attending the Butterfield school. He is survived by his parents, four brothers and three sisters.
