Everett Bauman Burned to Death
In Truck Fire
Sterling Man Pinned In Cab
In 3C Accident Tuesday
Funeral services were held
this afternoon for Clarence Everett Bauman, 25, truck driver of Sterling R. D.,
who was burned to death early Tuesday in a truck accident on the 3C highway just
south of Jackson. The Rev. Noah Hartzler was in charge of services at the
Murray Funeral Home in Creston. Burial was made in the Apostolic Cemetery here.
Bauman is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Burdella Bauman of Sterling; three brothers, Walter and William of
Sterling and Forest* of Dayton; two sisters, Mildred and Selma of Wooster.
Bauman and Lester Workman of
N. Seneca st., Rittman, were driving companion trucks of the John Klann Co. of
Cleveland, loaded with roofing and consigned to Dayton. They had stopped at
Sterling Tuesday morning and resumed the trip about 3 a.m. Just after the
trucks turned south on the 3C highway at Jackson, Bauman's truck, in the lead,
began to pull off to the right. It ran along the berm about 200 feet, ripped
off about 40 feet of guard railing and posts, then pitched over an embankment
on the west side, overturned in a stream, with the top of the cab buried in the
water. The gasoline tanks spilled gasoline over the truck and it immediately
burst into flames.
Workman rushed to the scene
as soon as he could, but was unable to give Bauman any assistance in the
flaming cab. The trucks were traveling 25 or 30 miles an hour at the time of
the accident. Bauman had been driving for the company about five years.
He was well known in Rittman
where he was a regular patron for gasoline and truck supplies.
TRAGEDY SIDELIGHTS
Tragedy seems to be following
the steps of Forrest* Bauman, who returned to his mother's Mrs. Burdella
Bauman's home from Wright Field at Dayton, where he had been injured, and was
with the family when his brother Everett, met with a tragic and fatal
automobile accident,** Tuesday morning, south of Jackson.
Bauman was to have been
married on Easter Sunday to Miss Vivian Stout of Wooster, daughter of the Rev.
and Mrs. H. E. Stout of Damascus, Ohio.
Submitter's Notes:
*This name was spelled two
different ways in the article Forest and Forrest.
**This was a truck accident.
No automobiles were involved.

Fairmont Football
Player Is
Victim
FAIRMONT, Oct. 10 -- Injured during an East
Fairmont high school football scrimmage here Tuesday afternoon, Gerald Keller,
16-year-old youth, lost his gallant, goaline stand
against death early this morning.
Death came to young Keller at 1 o'clock
after a 29-hour battle for his life in an "iron lung" in Morgantown.
Gerald's mother, Mrs. Victoria Keller,
members of his family, Coach Ike Lewis and several members of the East high
squad were present when the end came.
The boy had suffered a dislocation of
the spine which paralyzed chest muscles so badly as to impair his respiration,
physicians said, and he was taken to Morgantown to be placed in the lung. Dr. Justice C. Pickeet
had said an operation would be inadvisable because the lad's condition was such
that he would not be able to recover from a major surgery.
The East high-Mannington game set here
for tomorrow night has been cancelled, and it is possible that the remainder of
the Bees' schedule will also be cancelled, school officials reported.

car continued the length of the barge and plunged off the far end.
Martin was the first to free himself from the car, and made
his way to shore, little the worse for his experience. Virgil Rush next fought
his way to the surface and struck out for the shore, where he was rushed to the
Wetzel County hospital. He was suffering from shock and his condition was
listed as serious.

were called and made efforts to revive her, but they failed.

HEART ATTACK
CAUSES DEATH
OF YOUNG GIRL
Many friends in this vicinity
were greatly shocked and grieved to learn of the sudden death early Sunday
morning of Miss Vivian Stephen, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Fred Stephen of
southwest of Bloomville. Although she had been in poor health for a number of
years and had been critically ill for a time last year, her health had seemed
to be improving of late, and her sudden death caused by a heart attack came as
a great shock to her family and friends.
Vivian had attended the
basketball game in Bloomville Friday evening. On Saturday evening her mother
and she made candy while the father and the brother came to Bloomville. She
pulled taffy, listened to the radio, made preparations to go to Sunday School
the next morning and seemed to be in best of spirits when she retired at a late
hour Saturday night. She talked to members of her family as late as one o'clock
Sunday morning. About 1:20 a.m. they heard her groan and hastening to her bedside
found her dead.
A girl of pleasing
personality and cheerful disposition she had many friends at school and in her
Sunday School which she attended. Although she had been unable to attend school
for several years because of her health, she still retained her interest in the
junior class, of which she would have been a member had she been able to go on
with her education.
Vivian was born in Monroe
County, Aug. 2, 1923. She is survived by her parents, and the following
brothers and sisters, Mrs. Lester G. Ferguson, Oklahoma City, Okla.; Mrs. Ralph
E. Besancon, Milford, Mich.; Richard and James, both of Pontiac, Mich.; and
Harmon, at home. She was a member of the Bloomville Methodist church.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon in the Bloomville Methodist church and were conducted by Rev.
Wm. H. Sanders. A large number attended the funeral including members of the
Sunday School and school classes to which she belonged. Girls of the Sunday
School class served as pallbearers, and other members of the two groups took
care of the flowers. Interment was in Union cemetery in New Washington.
