J.W. Pevey, Jr. age 28, was killed at 8 a.m. Wednesday, December 24th, 1942 three miles north of Benton on 70, near Shady Grove Station, while en route to Glenwood to spend Christmas holidays with his family here. He was alone. His 1941 Chrysler car left the pavement and struck a tree. The motor was forced backward into the body of the car, and he was crushed to death. Sheriff Ross McDonald, who with two members of the State Police, who investigated the accident, stated that Mr. Pevey went to sleep at the steering wheel. As soon as his identity was established, news of the accident was rushed to radio stations in Hot Springs, and an effort made to locate his wife. The shocking news was heard by Mrs. Pevey, from the radio at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Sorrells, and immediately Mrs. Pevey and her mother left for Benton. His body was taken to the Astby(?) Funeral Home in Benton and later brought to Glenwood by Kelley Funeral Home.

Mr. Pevey was en route from Centralia, Illinois where he was employed, and had planned to spend Christmas here with his wife and daughter, Martha Nell Pevey, and Mrs. and Mrs. Warren Sorrells. His parents were killed in car accidents several years ago, and he had no other relatives other than his wife and daughter. Funeral services were held from the Baptist Church here Friday morning at 10 o'clock, in charge of the Rev. E.H. Martin, pastor of the Methodist Church, assisted by the Rev. Henry Malof, pastor of the Baptist Church. Pallbearers were Russell Floyd, Hubert Crawford, Sam Cox, Roy Watkins, Robert Newcomb and Eris Lively. Burial was in Glenwood Cemetery in charge of Kelley Funeral Home.

Many sorrowing friends attended the funeral, where many beautiful flowers were tributes of sympathy and love for the bereaved ones, and the choir with Mrs. H.E. McKeown at the piano, rendered special selections, after which brother Martin brought a comforting message. Mrs. Pevey was formerly Miss Tommie Sorrells, a graduate of Glenwood High School class of 1934.
