Therese Colette McCarty

With Lyle dying things were in an uproar around the house. Therese was supposed to babysit for John and Seraphine who lived NE of the farm in Hartley. Her boyfriend came and offered to take her over. With Lyle so sick no one noticed he had been drinking. He drove too fast on choppy gravel roads, the car zig-zagged over the road and turned over several times. Therese was thrown out of the car and it rolled over her. She lived long enough to go to the hospital. Her parents, John and Seraphine and the priest got there in time. She was conscious at the time, but died shortly of massive internal injuries.
