I asked Sarah Pinson Harp about this young man and she had this to say:

"Yes, he was in my class in school.  He died as a result of a car wreck which occurred the night before our Jr.-Sr. Prom.  He was an only child and very popular; he would have been an attribute to society had he lived a longer life."
