I spent some time going over microfilm in the Uniontown Public Library today. I could find no mention of a carnival in the area at that time, but there are numerous fireman's fairs in May that have no mention in the paper. Generally only the Fayette County Fair is mentioned in the newspaper and it is always in late July. This accident happened in early May.
I DID, however, glean some information from one newspaper account; Dr Reilly, the medical examiner, said that she died of a fractured skull and crushing type injury to the chest. I am going to assume that considerable effort went into making her showable in the pm pix.
Whoever she was, at least she did not suffer long.
I did mail info on the Uniontown UID to the Kentucky State Police Lt. in charge of the case. It is probably not her but dentals will tell the tale, and they can do that comparison fairly quickly once LE on both ends talk to each other.
