Local Motorcyclist Dies
Instantly Following Crash
Dean Gutberlet Is Killed;
Carl Cassidy Hurt
Dean V. Gutberlet, 22,
proprietor of Dean's Bicycle Shop, 207 Second Street, met instant death at 1:55
p.m. Monday, and Carl Cassidy, 30, of Reno, riding with him on a motorcycle
which at high speed crashed into a pile of bricks just off of East Greene
Street as the driver sought to negotiate a curve, is in Memorial Hospital with
injuries which are expected to prove fatal.
The accident occurred just
beyond Holly Street where the road makes a sharp bend to the left close to the
corporation line. The motorcyclists were enroute east. Gutberlet was thrown
high into a tree at the right of the road. He hung there momentarily, then
dropped to the ground.
Hadley's ambulance was
summoned. Cassidy was taken to Memorial Hospital. The body of Gutberlet was
left in the ambulance for viewing by Dr. R.W. Riggs, county coroner.
Police Get Report
Police had previously
received a report of a speeding motorcycle in the city's east end. In a cruiser
car, Patrolman Tom Sprague had gone out to intercept the driver. As the cruiser
car drove west on East Greene Street, it was passed by the motorcycle. Sprague
could not turn in the traffic. He continued on west to Seventh Street. Enroute
back east on the thoroughfare, headquarters radioed the cruiser of the accident
and the car arrived with the ambulance.
It was at first reported that
the motorcycle had struck the tree into which Gutberlet was thrown. A witness
said that a pile of bricks just off the pavement to the right of the curve was
the impeding object. Both men were catapulted a distance of 40 to 50 feet.
Cassidy is believed to have struck the tree in his flight through space.
Condition Critical
Cassidy's most serious injuries
are a fractured skull, a compound fracture of the left leg above the knee and a
fracture of the left arm. He is married and has five children.
Gutberlet was a motorcycle
carrier for The Times Company on U.S. Route Number 50 and State Route 7, his itinerary
including Gravel Bank, Constitution, Belpre, Rockland, Porterfield, Little
Hocking, Torch and Coolville.
A son of Deloss and Clara
Strickler Gutberlet of Fifteen, the deceased was born at Moss Run on May 28,
1917, and had spent practically his entire lifetime in Washington County. In
recent months he had resided in an apartment connected with his place of
business at 207 Second Street.

Surviving are his widow, Mrs.
Imogene Cecelia Schneider Gutberlet, whom he married on March 6, 1937; his
parents, four brothers and one sister. The latter are Earl Gutberlet of Sitka,

all residing in the home at Fifteen.

ALONZO V. KINKADE VICTIM
OF SUICIDE AT PERRYTON FARM
FRAZEYBURG, O., March 1 *
The victim of a
self-inflicted shotgun wound in the chest, Alonzo Vinton Kinkade, 54-year-old
oil field worker, was found dead this afternoon* at his home on a small farm
just east of Perryton, in Licking county.
The body was discovered by a
neighbor, Frank Hoover, who notified Coronor G.W. Sapp and the sheriff's
office. Following investigation in conjunction with a sheriff's deputy, Dr.
Sapp returned a verdict of suicide. Thought to have occurred some time Monday,
the act was said by neighbors to have been the result of despondency caused by
ill health.
Kinkade's widow, Mrs. Mary Kinkade,
was away from the home on a visit at the time of his death, and the suicide
victim was living by himself.
In addition to the widow, he
is survived by five children, Virgil Kinkade, Mt. Vernon, Rt. 3; Mrs. Freda
McCall, and Hildreth and Lewis Kinkaid,** Breckenridge, Mich., and Mrs.
Margaret McGee, Erie, Pa.; his mother, Mrs. Margaret Kinkade, Greysville,***
Monroe county; two brothers, Arley of Greysville*** and Earl Kinkade of Bremen;
and three sisters, Mrs. Florence Hines, Summerfield; Mrs. Nellie Finish,****
Rushville, and Mrs. Pearl Morris, Greysville.***
Kinkade was a member of the
Masonic lodge at Bremen.
Funeral services will be held
at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Baughman funeral home in Frazeysburg.
Burial will be made in Hanover cemetery.
Submitter's Notes:
* The "March
1--"on the first line of this obituary is confusing. It seems to indicate
that the death was March 1st, but his death certificate gives the death as
February 17.
** The rest of the family
spells the name as KINKADE so either this is a typo or Lewis changed the
spelling of his name to KINKAID.
***This is usually spelled
Graysville so this was probably not written by the Monroe County newspaper. I
only have the xeroxed article, not the name of the paper.

Mr. and Mrs. Paulus maintained a fine country home life,
industrious and thrifty, yet hospitable, kind and generous in relations with
friends and with neighbors. Both father and mother lived to realize the glory
of age, that of seeing their children out in the world making good.
While the death of the wife and mother came with crushing suddenness, those near and dear to her realize that everything humanly possible was done in a vain attempt to restore her usual good health. Even in the deepest sorrow, those who love her for the good woman she was, are sustained by the priceless heritage of many tender memories, mutual in their enjoyment and everything in their influence.
