Alma Lucille Burton McAdams

(January 12, 1912 ~ March 10, 1996)

Alma, daughter of George Walter Burton, Sr. and Mary Wilma Parnell, married to Benjamin Lowell McAdams and buried in Memory Gardens of the Valley Cemetery, Weatherford, Parker County, Texas.

Mrs. McAdams was born in Goldsboro, Texas and attended school in Ovalla, Texas. She married Ben McAdams in 1932. She was a resident of Dallas until 1948 and moved to Weatherford where her husband bought the Ford Motor Dealership.

Mrs. McAdams died when she was run over several times by her car. When she exited her car, it went into reverse, dragging Mrs. McAdams out and underneath the vehicle. The vehicle had a high idle, causing it to accelerate rapidly in circles. She was run over several times before a passerby rammed the vehicle to get it to stop.
