One survives; two die in 1-car accident
By MARY L. HODSON Area Editor
A 19-year-old Augustan remains in good condition at a Wichita hospital following a one-vehicle accident early Sunday that claimed the lives of two other Butler County residents.
Craig Dicus was taken to St. Francis Regional Medical Center in Wichita after being treated at the Augusta Medical Complex for injuries he suffered in the accident.
Brent Crowley, 18, rural Leon, and Tim Morris, 24, Augusta, died when the 1982 Chevrolet they were in missed a curve, sailed through tree tops and landed in a field about 3 a.m. Sunday, according to a sheriff’s office report.
Crowley and Morris were among five people killed in weekend traffic accidents across the state.
Captain Larry Cody of the county sheriff’s office reports Crowley and Morris were dead at the scene. Both were reportedly thrown out of the vehicle.
The fatal accident occurred a mile east of Augusta, just south of U.S. 54 on the Stafford Road at 3:05 a.m., Cody says.
Cody said Dicus was out of the car when officers arrived but it was not known whether he had been thrown out of the car. The accident was reported about 3:10 a.m.
Cody said this morning there had been no determination on who was driving the vehicle, but it was registered to Mitchell or Mary Crowley of Oklahoma.
Funeral services for Crowley will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Dunsford Funeral Home. Rev. Burl Allison Jr. will officiate and burial will be in the Elmwood Cemetery.
He was born March 22, 1966 in Wichita
to Bob R. and Frieda Magnus Crowley.
He attended school in Augusta and was a ranch worker and a member of the First Christian Church.
Survivors include his parents, Bob and Frieda Crowley, rural Leon; a brother, Mitch of Ponca City, Okla.; sisters, Carrie Filtingberger of Cedarvale and Shannon of the home; half sisters, Chris Rains of Arkansas City and Cherri Oden of Anchorage, Alaska, and grandmothers, Winona Crowley of Augusta, and Lula Dusenberry of Cedar Vale.
The Morris Funeral
Funeral services for Morris will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Dunsford Funeral Home. Rev. Robert L. Lourance will officiate and burial will be in the Leon Cemetery.
Morris was born Feb. 8, 1961 in Wichita to Clifford E. and Leoma E. McNair Morris.
He was a construction worker and a member of the Assembly of God Church in Augusta.
Survivors include his parents, Clifford and Leoma Morris of Augusta; a brother, Jimmy D. Morris of Peabody; sisters, Frances R. Egger of Garnett, Shirley Tolbert of Leon and Lois J. Hunt of Waynesville, Mo., and his grandmother, Roma Morris of Valley Springs, Ark.
The Other Traffic Deaths
Crawford County authorities said the bodies of James Soper, 20, and Brett Royster, 17, both of Columbus, were discovered Sunday in the wreckage of their pickup truck.
A Harveyville man, Marc E. Smitha, 19, died when the car he was driving struck a tree on a Lyon County road early Saturday, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
