ONE KILLED, FOUR HURT
IN AUTO CRASH
Victim Thrown Under
Own Car, Skull Crushed
Both Autos Wrecked By Impact--Injured Men Not Seriously Hurt
Furl Aaron Binegar, 21, of Pine Ridge, foreman at The Casto Rubber Co., was fatally injured Thursday at 11:15
p.m. in an automobile collision at Third and Scammel streets. Four persons in the other car involved in the
crash were injured.
It was Marietta's first
traffic fatality of the year.
Police said they had a
report that the crash occurred during the few seconds that the light was
changing, both drivers failing to observe the caution flashes.
No arrest was made by
police.
One car was being driven,
police said, by Richard Weber, 20, of 506 Front St. Riding with him were Paul Carlisle, 25, and
his brother, Charles Carlisle, 32, both of 727 Fifth St., and John Archer, 24,
of 422 Seventh St.
Weber and Archer were
taken to their homes after receiving medical attention at Memorial Hospital,
but the Carlisle brothers were admitted and were to undergo x-ray examinations
Friday. Hospital attendants reported
none of the injured were serious, the victims
suffering only from cuts and bruises.
Police said Binegar was pronounced dead a few minutes after his arrival
at the hospital. Coroner J.A. McCowan reported Binegar died
from two fractures of the skull and internal injuries.
The Weber auto turned
over twice when it was struck by the Binegar car,
police reported, coming to rest on the sidewalk at Weber's grocery. Binegar's auto was
overturned on the curb of the northeast corner, headed south, with the driver
under the left fender.
Police said their investigation
showed Weber was driving 30 miles an hour east on Scammel St., when he entered
the street intersection. The Binegar car was reported traveling north on Third St. The intersection is protected by an automatic
traffic signal light.
Binegar
was driving a 1946 Chevrolet coach which he had only recently purchased, but it
had not been transferred to the new owner, police said. Weber was driving a 1938 Chevrolet coach.
Watch Wrecked
Impact of the collison was so great, police reported,
the works in Binegar's watch were knocked from the
case. The damaged watch and the top of a
fountain pen were turned over to the dead man's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Binegar, after they identified them at police
headquarters. Cash amounting to $141.64
which Binegar had in his possession was turned over
by police to the coroner.
A partly filled bottle of
whiskey, which police said was on the rear seat of the Weber car, was locked up
in the property drawer at headquarters.
Police said there was no evidence that Richard Weber, driver of the car,
had been drinking.
Police reported two
relatives of Binegar were killed in an automobile
accident in 1918 on Route 26* when a car plunged over an embankment after being
sideswiped by another car and that another relative recently died as the result
of a fall from a building under construction at the rear of the New System
Bakery.
The body of Binegar was removed to Doudna
& McClure's funeral home pending funeral arrangements.
Born Dec. 6, 1925, he was
a son of Clarence and Carrie Herlan Binegar of Pine Ridge, Newport Twp. He was employed for three years with the Casto Rubber Co. plant in this city and was a foreman at
the plant at the time of his death.
Survivors are his parents
and brothers and sisters who are Kenneth Binegar of
Matamoras, Mrs. Delorace Thomas of Williamstown, Mrs.
Elwanda Congleton of
Fifteen, Merle, Orville, Phyllis, Mona, Lyle and Patricia Binegar,
all of the family home. Conway Binegar of Pleasant Ridge is the grandfather.
Funeral services will be
held Monday at 2:30 p.m. at the Newport Methodist Church. Interment will be in Valley cemetery. The body will be taken to the home of the
parents Saturday afternoon.

A door swings briefly
open,
And a loved slips away
Slips from lifes dark shadows
Into
bright eternal day.
Where earthly griefs are
over,
Where pain shall be no

To peace past
understanding
God has opened wide the
door.
Peace be
to God.
